(Well, duh, obviously there was *some* reason.) Did you do it for separate credit or just for learning purposes? I'm only asking because my son can't decide which algebra to do. I read somewhere that beginning would satisfy a math credit for him, but he's tending toward intermediate "just in case."
Beg Algebra is a wonderful refresher but the reason I took both beginning and intermediate was for cheap easy credit. I think it may be due to the college mathematics CLEP (MAT 102/103) that Aleks beginning algebra is accepted for credit at TESC. IMHO, beg algebra is easy, intermed not much harder, College algebra is when it gets challenging.
I think it's been two students recently that did not receive credit. Seems the folks in the transcribing department are not yet on the same page. If for any reason it should appear on your sons evaluation as "developmental / 0.00 credit" call advising, raise sand and have it corrected.
BTW thank you for clarifying your statement. I'm sure there is an updated fema list, someone only need contact advising and ask for it. The last listing I have is from May.
Take care.
