Hey folks, math definitely isn't my strong suit, but it's a requirement for my curriculum. Does anyone have experience with online math courses? What's the 'easiest' one you've found, especially if you're like me and don't naturally vibe with math?
When it comes to online math courses, the level of difficulty can often depend on your individual strengths and weaknesses as well as the way the material is presented. I've heard a lot of positive reviews regarding the math courses offered by Coursera and edX which allow students to learn at their own pace.
Before selecting your course, you should consider taking an assessment to pinpoint your trouble areas in math. This can help clarify whether you struggle more with fundamental mathematical concepts or applied ones. If you have a good grasp of the basics, then a course on Algebra or even Pre-Calculus may be within your reach.
For example, the "Algebra: Elementary to Advanced" course from Johns Hopkins University on the Coursera platform often gets high marks for being manageable and well-structured. Another Coursera course to consider is the "Pre-Calculus: Relations and Functions" course, offered by Johns Hopkins University, which also receives good reviews for its engaging content and progressive learning curve. This way you are staying within your 'comfort zone' but still meeting your curriculum requirement.
Remember the 'easiest' course will depend on your foundation in math. Invest some time in understanding your level before deciding which course to take. Good luck!
