New prep resource - universalclass.com

In my searching tonight, I came across this site which looks interesting.

http://www.universalclass.com

It looks to be basically a portal whereby you (the student) can search for and enroll in a variety of online courses taught by independent instructors. Courses span nearly every conceivable category (Mathematics, Sciences, Accounting, Social Sciences, etc). The courses appear to be non-credit based, although some give CEUs. The couple of courses that I looked at were priced under $100.

The reason I am pointing this out is that it might be a good way to "prep" for exams or difficult for-credit courses.

For example, I found a course called "Algebra Refresher" ($19):

And this one: How To Solve Basic Word Problems ($25)

Precalculus - Are You Ready for Calculus? ($40):

Thought I'd pass it along - as I am prepping for the CLEP College Algebra/Trig exam, I may poke around and take the algebra refresher before I begin studying the advanced stuff in earnest.

Cheers.

 

Thanks for the info

Hi Unixman,


Thank you for the information, that site seems pretty interesting. Also, just wanted to let you know, I have really enjoyed reading your posts, they are always interesting and informative. Good luck with the exam, I hate math as well. (as you can see by my degrees .

 

Another great resource that I just discovered:

lsu offers the same thing in the high school section. i have thought about taking a few of these to get me ready for a college algebra course or the clep test.

high school algebra II should be the equivilent of college algebra. i think . . .
