Course: Math 108: Discrete Mathematics
Course content: Text and videos.
Final exam format: Multiple Choice. 100 questions.
Final exam content vs course content/practice exams: final exam was on par with course content.
Time taken on course: About 11 days; roughly 1 chapter/day.
Familiarity with subject before course: Like my very previous post, some basic math; hardly more than intermediate algebra level. (Or, should I now include geometry too!
)
Pitfalls, high points, things others should know: The course is a breeze compared to the Geometry one I did previously. I had 20 days and 1 exam remaining from my monthly subscription, so I decided to not hurry at all and simply do 1 chapter/day. If memory serves me right, there are about 88 quizzes. Some chapters are longer, others are shorter. It has been mentioned before that the chapter about recursion is quite poor and I do agree. I decided to not bother much with learning this specific chapter as I was quite confident that I will score well enough even if I do poorly with recursion-specific problems. And I was right - the final exam was in the 70s with total score for the course in the 80s. I did not feel at all that I was lacking math knowledge while doing the course (except the already mentioned recursion chapter). This time I did not repeat the mistake to not bring my own calculator. While not a must, I did use it a few times and it served me well. Even if you find that mysterious Desmos calculator that is supposed to be offered for use, I will still suggest to bring your own physical one. This, to me, was an easy class. Learning the theory, bringing a calculator, and ignoring the recursion chapter is the shortest way for me to explain how I managed to pass with no hassles.
