Calc based Physics needed

Calculus-based Physics 1 | National University (nu.edu)

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll check it out. She had 7 Science courses in high school, 2 were college level Physics, as well as made it through college Calc 3. So tell me where the problem was? I attribute the issue that 40-60 problems per unit for homework, with no credit given, then only 3 tests, and once you get a 30 on one test, there is no chance to recover. She did tons of the problems, just to figure out how to do them, but the tests did not follow the homework as a way to study. It was very disjointed. She thinks since she did so much of the homework already, retaking the class at her school again will give her a chance to replace the grade and increase her GPA. Transfer credit doesn’t factor into the schools GPA. But I just doubt she has time next semester with the class load, and I’m looking for a plan B that she should entertain.

Scratch that, I was reading too quickly... was thinking something else, so... never mind me...
Actually the 2 Algebra based Physics classes transferred in for her degree, as did the Calc 1&2. ROTC Scholarship requires Calc 1&2, and Calc based Physics 1&2. She needs the last 2 classes before graduation. She just has such a tight schedule I really fear to leave those two classes unfinished before too long.
