Being in the same boat as pretty much everyone here, I ended up taking the MAT113 (Web based version) course from Excelsior College.
The up side to the class is that it is EASY. The home work consisted of 1 quiz with 10 multiple choice questions per week (13 quizzes total), with a 50 question midterm and 50 question final. There are plenty of FREE online calculators that will not only help you with your work, but explain how the questions where solved to you. The tests and quizzes are not proctored, so feel free to use any type of calculator you wish
The down side is the cost ($615.00 for military), and time. The classes run for a total of 15 weeks, but you might only do a total of 10-12 hours of actual course work between your quizzes, midterm, and final.
If you have the time (and money), this is an extremely good option. You might find it worth it in the end.
One final note, MAT115 College Algebra is a bit more difficult but very doable. The workload for MAT115 is the same as MAT113.
Best of luck,
Scott
