Trigonometry for credit - homeschoolmom1 - 11-07-2017
Now that ALEKS is gone for credit, is there any credit earning course in Trigonometry with the usual cheap providers (Shmoop, study, SL, Ed4credit etc.)?
RE: Trigonometry for credit - dfrecore - 11-07-2017
Nope. But there is Precalc, which is similar. I think when I was in high school, we took Alg 1 - Geom - Alg 2 - Trig/Analytic Geom - Calc, and then later, they changed it to Alg 1 - Geom - Alg 2 - Precalc - Calc. Now, with Common Core, it's Math I - Math II - Math III - Precalc - Calc.
Precalculus is available through CLEP, UExcel, SL, Study.com, Ed4Credit.
If you think you'll need more than a month, then SL/Study.com won't be great ways to take it, so you might want to do Ed4C. It's more expensive ($195) but you get 4 months to finish it.

Thanks a lot, dfrecore. Always so helpful. And good point about good providers that allow more time. I have actually considered registering for the premium plan with study.com for 3 months ($180), do the quizzes for 8 courses during that time. Then switch to College Accelerator for the 4th month and do all 8 finals during that month ($199+6x70=$619). Comes out to $100 per course, but is a backdoor way to give you 4 months for each course.

Yes, that would work too. It just depends on how you learn better. If you want to take the course as video-based, then Study.com is the way to go. But if you'd rather do it via textbook (like SL), Ed4Credit is good.
