Applied Liberal Arts Mathematics (TECEP MAT-105)

[dfrecore]

I thought the textbook was really bad - terrible. Busy, too much crap, impossible to get through in any logical sequence. Maybe the worst math textbook I've ever seen.

Instead, I had already worked through ALEKS Intermediate Algebra, and about 30% of Khan Academy's Statistics course (free), and I just ended up taking the exam and got 90%. My opinion: if you already know some algebra, you can pass this test.

If you feel shaky on algebra, then I would use Khan Academy to review Algebra Basics (maybe to 90%), Algebra I (maybe to 25%), and some Statistics (maybe to 25%). I would spend the most time on Algebra Basics, as I think that's what the vast majority of questions covered. Then, you are more than prepared to take this exam.

There are no IC flashcards for this, and I would think it would be hard to do, as most problems had to be worked through on paper. BTW - I was only allowed to use 1 piece of paper by ProctorU, so write small!!
