InstantCert College Algebra reviews? - Muldoon - 10-03-2020
Has anyone here reviewed InstantCert's College Algebra course yet? I tried searching and didn't see anything about the content.
This is the final class I need to graduate, and the courses I've tried so far (Sophia and Aleks) didn't really work well for me. I'm looking at different options now and this is my top choice so far, but I wanted to hear from someone that took it and can talk about how long it took them, how challenging it was, and how well the questions aligned to the videos/course material. TIA!

Great question! I am curious if you took InstantCert Algebra and if you would recommend it? Thanks

Hi! I did try it out but I didn't finish it. I got through the first section but I found that I couldn't understand some of the concepts well enough in the lessons to answer the questions in the quiz correctly. But math is also my worst subject and it's really hard for me.
I did really like the IC format though, and I would definitely try another one of their classes if I decide to get another degree. It's cheap enough I might even try taking some just for fun. I think the Algebra course would be good for someone with a better understanding of the concepts than what I had at the time.
What I ended up doing was taking Sophia's Foundations of Algebra course to fill in some knowledge gaps (I really should have done that before trying anything else!), watched a bunch of YouTube videos, then since I still had the subscription paid for, I took Sophia's College Algebra course and was able to pass it.
