All, I was wondering if anyone has recently taken the College Algebra course at Straighterline? Could any provide any feedback from this course? Are the test's hard? Do they consist of just problems that you could use a calculator for? Any word problems?
Thanks again! I haven't taken math in over 5 years so I'm trying to gauge everything.

I hated it and gave up in the end. The majority of the material is a video of an instructor explaining things, I really struggle with that and would much prefer to see the concept written down and to read it on my own. I am doing ALEKS now which I like much better.

I started it but I didn't make it past the second unit. It was unnecessarily hard and frustrating, I'm now doing Aleks.

So you're saying the math was too hard, how were they hard? Is it the same kind of math that is in the lessons?
