The official guide to courses by Straighterline, Study, et al: We want YOUR input!
Provider: Study.com
Course: Math 108: Discrete Math
Course content: Text and videos
Final exam format: 100 multiple-choice questions
Final exam content vs course content/practice exams: Generally speaking with Study.com, your final exam score is usually within about 10% of your practice exam score. Very few curveballs are thrown your way.
Time taken on course: Approximately 20–30 hours total — around 20 hours for the lessons and 5–10 hours of studying for the final.
Familiarity with subject before course: Not much.

Pitfalls, high points, things others should know:
I think when people hear the word “math,” they might immediately be nervous about taking this course, especially if it’s required for their major.

The good news:
There is very little “new” math you need to learn.

The bad news:
This course is a mile wide and an inch deep. There are many logical concepts to cover, so the challenge is breadth rather than difficulty.

General tips:
One important thing to understand about this course is that most concepts do not build on one another. If you struggle with a topic, you can often move ahead without hurting your progress later.

The key to succeeding in this class is to fully commit and try to finish it within 1–2 weeks. If you take too long, you risk forgetting earlier material and wasting time relearning it.

For the final exam, there are roughly eight simple math formulas worth memorizing. Most of the math involves basic algebra, and you can use the provided Desmos calculator to handle computations automatically.

Take the practice test multiple times until you feel confident. Most people score on the final exam within about 10–15% of what they score on the practice exam.

1–10 Difficulty level: 5-6
