CSM Math - what's it like?

[Pats20]

It's so interesting for me to read the comments of the folks that didn't like CSMLearn so much.  I guess it just goes to different learning styles.  I am a confirmed math phobe, but I can do a lot of basic math, including fairly complex percentages and fairly large addition and subtraction, in my head. And I understand some, but not a lot, of algebraic stuff. Not much beyond that.  And I generally do pretty terrible on any math-focused tests, even if they are fairly basic.  (The math readiness test that's part of TESU's SOS-110, for example, I got a lower score and it wanted me to spend hours doing exercises. I bitched, and my professor waived it for me.)

And with all of that utter lack of math ability, I found CSMLearn to be painless. I wouldn't call it "fun", but it kept me going enough that I knocked the whole thing out over a weekend, maybe 16 or 18 hours total.  There were several areas that kept coming back 3 or 4 times, but I eventually mastered them (at least enough to get the "black belt").  

Compared with any other college-level math course I've taken or attempted to take, CSMLearn, for me, was a walk in the park.

Most definitely. It was more like a game, that I got bored with after a bit. Of course I could’ve ended the boredom quicker, but I played with it on my phone every little bit. 30 minutes to an hour a day, while the tv was on and eating dinner.
