Quote: "I have taken many courses through Straighterline (SL), but none where math (well, I took Business Statistics, more theory than "math" in my experience). I am sure there are people here who can give insight on specific math courses offered through them; however, it is very important to note that even though they are all offered through SL they all are not same provider for the mathematics courses - so you lose the continuity of the vertical path you'd get with a single provider, even though they are all technically Stragihterline courses.

In example(s): SL's College Algebra is offered through two platforms, Acrobatiq or McGraw-Hill."
 

So my first question is: My son recently bought SL College Algebra, but hasn't started it yet (waiting for a membership code to reactivate). Does he have a choice whether to take it through Acrobatiq or McGraw-Hill? Is there a preferred platform?

Has anyone else taken this course? HE is NOT mathy - gave up on ALEKS 3 times previously :-( He figured an actual course would be a better fit for him, but has been watching KHAN videos to prepare a bit for the course. Do you have any tips for him? He works a full-time demanding job and with family and church responsibilities, it's been hard focusing on math. But he only needs 2 math courses to complete his degree. Algebra is the lowest his B&M accepts. He's also wondering how many hours do you anticipate to complete the SL course?

Thanks for your help,
Julie
