Distance Calculus is right for me!

I am enrolled at another institution
I love the interactive course material. I can investigate and experiment and think! Then I can discuss the math I am doing with a live human being -- and get direct feedback on my questions. Why don't they teach all math classes like this? Even though my campus dorm is not on-line, I use my dial-up internet account and have no trouble getting my assignments, communicating with my instructor, turning in my work, taking my quizzes or getting on-line help whenever I need it. I even have friends looking over my shoulder who wish they'd enrolled -- there's nothing like being able to make your own schedule and work at your own pace. |

I am a full-time professional
Ok, I asked, how do I hold down a full-time career, take care of the kids, and get that calculus required before I can start my MBA? I had no idea how easy the solution would be. I can study at my own pace, work and re-work problem sets until I am happy with my results, and turn in my assignments when I wish -- not on somebody else's schedule. I really enjoy visualizing the results on the computer, and being able to test different scenarios without having to do huge amounts of pencil and paper computations. And since I am working on my laptop, I can revisit problems and complete assignments at any time! Before I started, I was really unsure of my Algebra and Trigonometry -- it's been years since I took those classes -- but, everything I needed to know came back to me (with a little coaching from my mentor and instructor). I would definitely recommend Distance Calculus @ Suffolk University. It's an independent, intuitive, and invaluable resource to get the calculus you need. |

I am an advanced high school student
It's real calculus, and I will be able to transfer the credits when I begin college next Fall. That will be great! Three required classes out of the way before I even start! The graphical and investigative approach to the course is great! It's not "memorization math" -- it's teaching me to think, analyze and discuss. I am not only learning how to make calculus work, I am learning why calculus works and what it can do! I was worried I would not have time enough to study. Not a problem. I can study as much or as little time as my schedule allows, and progress at my own speed. I can communicate with my mentor by e-mail and instant messenger, and through the course material, and never feel like I can't get help. I can also study with my friends who are enrolled in Distance Calculus @ Suffolk University, since sometimes two heads are just better than one. It's not your typical high school experience, and I know the skills I am learning will go far beyond calculus, and help me when I get to college. |
