CSM is INCREDIBLE!

I have to say, although I have never tried csmlearn, for anyone who struggles on math, try and try again.
Sophia and Straighterline have saved me.
I have previously failed foundations of algebra twice at two brick and mortar schools, and college algebra on Straighterline. I don’t know if attention is the issue, but retention certainly is.
For college algebra, I am almost done on Sophia. They are the only place that breaks down the lessons in to chunks of information that I can learn and have time to practice and I am actually retaining the information.
I feel like most places present too much information at once for me to be able to fully comprehend. But Sophia offers shorter chapter lessons, more ways to study, and multiple instructors if you don’t get a lot from one, so you can choose.
Straighterline is the only way I could have possibly passed a statistics course. I chose business statistics. It offered way more word problems than strictly math questions. I could apply the questions to things I do every day at work, and I was able to grasp the concepts much better. They also had several questions that dealt with just vocabulary vs only math.
Math has seriously been a huge part of what has held me back from my degree. And I want people to know that it doesn’t have to be that way. There are many providers. There are many alternatives. Be picky. Do what is the best option for you. That’s the prevailing theme of this forum as a whole. A good bit of us are coming back after years of “life” happening.
