untimed math?
#1
Are there any math options that don't require timed exams?  What I'd really like to take is Intro to Stats, because it's useful for my field, but I really suck at math.  To the point that I'm actually beginning to wonder if I have mild dyscalculia (kind of like dyslexia but with math and time and space).  I can handle math concepts just fine, but when I start to do actual figuring, my thoughts start to jumble.  I don't have any kind of official diagnosis, so I don't think I can get an accommodation through school.  But I'm starting to question my ability to pass a necessary math class.  I've been working through the problem sets for the introductory math assessment at Liberty, and I've actually failed to pass even the fractions section.   Blush  (I got a good score on the math portion of my SAT a million years ago, so I don't think I used to struggle *this* much, although I have always had significant issues with "careless" errors, especially when having to do a lot of switching between problem types.)

I was thinking to just go ahead and take the course through school, but I think I might prefer to take something external (like StraighterLine) that will transfer, so my one math class doesn't destroy my GPA. Wink

For context, I'm better at geometry than algebra, except where proofs are involved, I think because my issue is the appearance of actual equations/symbols.  For instance, when I started through the Saylor stats course, I was following the material just fine until they put it in the form of an equation, and then everything just seemed to "swim" and I couldn't make sense of it anymore.

I just need the easiest thing I can pass that Liberty will accept in transfer as general ed math credit.
