New Sophia Courses: College Math and Chemistry

[dfrecore]

A lot of people aren't good at math and may need to work up until they can handle college algebra. I count myself in that group and glad to see Sophia adding a class like this.

Yes, I completed Intro to Applied Math, and College Math for the same reason. Not considering their transferability, they gave a solid refresher to College Algebra, making it easier to cruise through Algebra. Worst case is not getting a credit, best case is transferring as general electives, but nothing to lose.

Considering a career change, looking to take College Algebra and Probability/Stats for graded credit.  So I'm currently taking Contemporary Math at my local CC as a refresher (it's been a good while since I've taken a math course).

I did take Stats at Study.com in 2018, but before that I took Beginning Algebra, Intermediate Algebra and College Algebra through ALEKS in 2011.

So far, I'm doing very well - but this course is much easier than I expected, and I'm not sure College Algebra will be as much of a breeze.  OH, and it's ALEKS-based!  So you do the initial knowledge check, then work your way through the pie (although you can't choose your pie pieces unfortunately).  4 end-of-module tests and a midterm done, just the final exam left.
