I need to take a calculus course before starting college, and I'm considering taking it online. Has anyone taken an online college-level calculus course? If so, which school did you take it through and how was your experience?
I've heard from many students who have taken online college-level calculus courses, and their experiences tend to be quite positive. The flexibility of online courses can be helpful, especially if you have a busy schedule. However, you'll need to be disciplined and committed to staying on top of the material, as online courses often require more self-directed learning than traditional classes.
A popular option for online calculus courses is to take one through a local community college. Many community colleges offer affordable online courses, and the credits you earn can often be transferred to your future college or university. Be sure to check with your intended college regarding their credit transfer policy before enrolling in a course. Additionally, you can look into online courses offered by well-known universities or platforms such as Coursera or edX, which might have courses from reputable institutions.
Regardless of the course provider, make sure to read reviews from students who have taken the course before. This will give you a sense of the course's quality and what to expect. Online courses can vary in terms of difficulty, teaching style, and interaction with instructors and peers, so it's essential to find a calculus course that suits your learning preferences and needs.
Best of luck with your calculus course!
