Study.com depth
#1
Hie everyone, I am new and here and I would like to take some study.com courses namely college algebra  all the way to calculus and would like to ask fellow members if they think of study.com courses in terms of depth...Do you feel as though you  actually learned something? For those who used them as exam prep, where you adequately prepared?

I haven't taken any math courses with Study.com but I have taken 20 other courses with them. In my opinion, the Study.com courses are fairly narrow in their focus when compared to a traditional college course, but you can learn quite a bit if you pay attention and study the material properly.

From what I've heard the math courses are not super rigorous though, so you may want to supplement what you learn from Study.com with material from Khan Academy and do a lot of practice problems on your own.

I think I've learned plenty from Study.com. The 2 courses that I've taken from both Study.com and Straighterline were English Comp 1 and American History 2. Of those, English Comp 1 was about the same at both and American History 2 was far and away superior at Study.com.

I would not use Study.com's programming courses to try to learn programming languages or their foreign language courses to try to learn those languages, but beyond that I think it's just like any other school work in that you get out of it what you put into it.

Depends on the subject and how much info you already know on that particular course. If you have taken a few math courses and want to take College Algebra all the way to Calculus, that should be fine, although I would recommend ALEKS instead all the way to PreCalc and Stats as it's much cheaper. I think Study.com courses are slightly washed down versions of the B&M courses you would take, it's not as "high school easy" as StraighterLine though, you still learn the concepts.

If it were me, and I actually wanted to learn courses, I wouldn't use just a single source. I'd probably take Study.com for credit, but supplement with Khan Academy to make sure I had a thorough understanding and no gaps.

I'm actually having my kids supplement their high school math with Study.com and Khan Academy. My HS daughter is taking Algebra 2, and then also College Math and College Algebra through Study.com, and is doing well in both. My son is in the Integrated Math series at his school, and will be taking Geometry & Precalc through Khan to supplement his learning, so that he is prepared for Calc I next year (he is pretty strong on Algebra I & II, but hasn't spent enough time on Geometry/Trig in my opinion, and they're not covering it well in Integrated Math).
