Academic Credits For Distance Calculus Courses

Perhaps you have been admitted to graduate school, but discover at the last minute that you need that one last calculus course to be completed.

Or perhaps you want to submit your applications to graduate school, and to boost those applications, you need to increase your calculus academic credits earned via real academic transcript. (Hint: just saying that you took a Coursera course doesn't get you very far with graduate schools!)

Distance Calculus @ Roger Williams University is all about fast - as fast as your academic skills allow. We cannot cut corners for learning academic achievement, but our course curriculum can be completed very quickly if you are motivated (students under a heavy time crunch usually are very motivated) and you have the academic "chops" to get the job done fast.

Check out the sample timelines on many of our most popular courses: For more information, see this page: How Fast Can I Complete a Distance Calculus Course?

Dr. Curtis's lessons were well taught, and livemath wasn't too bad once you understood it. Some of the assignments were pretty difficult and required some more explanation, which was hard to get outside of the given lessons.

A lifesaver. When I found out I needed a course done in the last weeks of summer I thought there was no way i'd find one available, but this let me complete the course as quickly as I needed to while still mastering the topics. Professor always got back to me very quickly and got my assignments back to me the next day or day of. Can't recommend this course enough for students in a hurry or who just want to learn at their own pace.

You don’t just learn in this course you understand. As someone who has always struggled with math taking advanced courses was intimidating. Dr. Curtis and his TAs made math manageable and framed the questions in a way they were applicable to real world. Thanks again!

After completing all the math offered by my highschool, I switched over to Roger Williams for Calculus II and onward. Overall, it has been a pretty great way to understand the topics online, with transferrable college credits. The exams are not terrible, and the courses cover the vast majority (if not all) of topics covered by traditional courses, with some unique ones added to. So far, I have taken four courses, with another one or two before I graduate.

The only problem with the course is the lack of pen and paper work. This shouldn't come as a crazy surprise with an online course, but there is not much emphasis on symbolic computation. Mathematica or other software does most of the heavy computation for you. The lectures usually show how to solve the problems through paper, but those skills are rarely put into practice. Literacy Sheets act as a way to do some of that (especially with the Calculus II & III course).

All in all, this isn't a huge issue. I just memorize and practice things like double integration, Laplace, ODE solving, matrix diagonalized form, row operations, etc. With a little outside work, this resolves itself. Without Roger WIlliams, I probably would not have been able to take any of these math courses in highschool.

So overall, a great choice for highschool advanced math, especially with transferrable credits.

The professor as well as the TAs give great feedback when you need help with problems and the videos are great at explaining concepts. Return time on work is good and the work is not too much to handle.

This course gives a perspective on Linear algebra that no traditional course does. I’d say i gained much more intuition for this subject from the DC course than my friends who took traditional courses elsewhere. As a cs major, this version of learning with visualization has helped me a lot in understand ML models. However the course doesn’t have videos for the last 2 chapers so i had to self learn with the mathematica notebooks. Response times are a little slow but since it’s a remote class, i guess it’s justified. Overall amazing course and definitely take this over traditional lin alg classes.
