Edx/BUx Introduction to Differential Equations Starts 5/16

[SolarKat]

There have been a few others, including myself, who have found their non-math courses to be lightweight. People feel like they're learning, but they don't know what they're not learning.

You said it, exactly right. Study.com is *awesome* for something you just need to get the credit for...like gen-eds that you want to blow through on your way to bigger things. But I'm not sure it's a way to build concrete skills. A single quick essay for "advanced tech writing," for example. And while I find the history classes to be very interesting, I know from my history-buff friends that the courses are super light on detail and complexity. Still, it's a fine trade-off for me, so I can hit my AOS harder, spending much less time with gen-eds. However, if my AOS was history, I don't feel the Study.com would give me the knowledge expected of a history major in those classes. And for a mathematician, I don't think there's enough opportunity for practice work with feedback to provide a grounding for advanced study. It reminds me more of a "calculus for non-math majors"...quick, dirty credit.
