HELP!
College Algebra, a seemingly antiquated form of mathematics only applicable to scientists and math teachers, is absolutely killing me!
I reaching out to the board for help, as I am in a holding pattern and cannot progress into my MBA program until this course is done. The college algebra class through Patten is basically designed for students who have completed algebra classes previously and is not in any way remedial. My understanding of algebra is unfortunately very remedial.
It has been suggested to me that I take the college algebra through straighterline, as it is an easier class to get through for students like myself. I have contemplated hiring a tutor, using mathhelp.com and even taking a class at my local junior college in beginning algebra... all very time consuming endeavors.
CLEP may be an option, but I have to set it up through the registrar and I am waiting a call back form them. However, I don't think I can pass a CLEP exam in the topic. Statistics or another type of math course is no longer transferable to satisfy the requirement, or I would be looking into that.
So, I am stuck.
Any advice, thoughts or insight is appreciated as always!
