My daughter is currently taking intermediate algebra for the second time at our local CC. She is going to earn an AA in general business which is not a transfer degree, so she only needs intermediate algebra to earn her AA. Then she will transfer to a satellite branch of a private Christian college to earn a BA in Business. The 4-year school will accept ACE credits. She struggles in math. ALEKS is now gone. I want to know if Shmoop's finite math is doable for someone who struggles in math? Has anyone taken the course? I have read many posts about difficulties with Shmoop's format, especially in literature classes. Does anyone know if the finite math is less confusing, especially for the mathematically challenged?
I realize that she could earn a degree much cheaper, but she needs the social contact at the CC (where she has a Board of Governors fee waiver for the $46 per credit hour in California CC's). So, we are only out fees of $23 per semester and books. The AA in general business is more of a job skills based business degree, so it will certainly only help her in life. Anyhow, does anyone have information for me about Shmoop's finite math?
