SDC Calculus
#1
Has anyone taken SDC Calculus?  It seems to be six credits. How are the quizzes and final exams?

I did, The quizzes actually proved to be a bit tougher than the final exam. Especially in the last few chapters. Explanations are not given for some quizzes, and that makes it difficult if you go wrong. In certain cases, the quizzes were difficult to solve bcos the questions were wrongly worded. The final exam had 70 questions, and was quite straightforward. I wouldn’t say it was very easy. But it relatively much easier than the quizzes. Overall, I enjoyed the course, and learned a lot. I would also recommend that you use Khan academy to improve your understanding of certain individual lessons. For example, the sections on u-substitution, and changing rates problems are very well explained in Khan academy videos.

I agree with all of this. SDC calculus is probably the easiest place to take calculus but it is worst place to learn calculus. In addition to badly worded questions, they are sometimes out of order. If you learn the concepts you need from other sources like Khan, you'll be much better off.

The final has so many easy questions that it will provide a reasonable buffer to someone who doesn't learn the harder stuff very well.

The most difficult class I ever took. I found it difficult to remember all of the steps. There were parts I just never got and it took me longer than any other course to complete so far. Passed it with 70% and not a point to spare.
