Aleks - Did I pass the course?

I have a friend who teaches algebra. She claims that it's SO important, and you need it constantly in everyday life. Um, me... I just haven't noticed it.

Some parts of my finance and accounting courses needed some very, very basic algebra - but, if you're not going for a business degree - whatever for?

Just my opinion.

LOL if I need to learn something, I will. I don't need a teacher or a tuition bill to make that happen! A credential (college credit, diploma, degree, etc.) is a credential- learning is learning. 2 piles. Sometimes they overlap, but they don't have to. Some of the things in this world that I know the MOST about I learned on my own - some of the things I like to do (hobbies) would burn me out if I had to also learn them academically. We all get to choose, it's a beautiful thing. Take the 70, get the credit, and if you want more - go for it. If not, move on!
