All Distance Calculus courses are offered through Roger Williams University in Providence, Rhode Island, a regionally accredited university. There are so many online calculus courses that give the appearance of offering "transferrable credit" or "certificates". Investigate these offerings very carefully as usually there is a catch: the credits are only transferable to select schools, or only via examination (ACE) (which is not universally recognized), or similar restrictions. You don't want to have to take Calculus again!

When you take a Distance Calculus course, you are taking a real course from Roger Williams University, a major university in Rhode Island. Completion of these courses earns real academic transcript with real, transferable academic credits from an accredited university.

Probability Theory was a great course. Very very thorough. I thought it would never end :). I was very prepared for my coursework in economics. Excellent refereshher of derivatives and integrals - really forced me to remember that stuff from freshman cal.

Courses Completed: Linear Algebra

I completed the Linear Algebra course as a prerequisite to an M.Ed program in Mathematics. I worked entirely at my own pace, it was cheap, I actually learned the material. This was not a "pay your fee, take your B" type of class. I had to demonstrate true understanding in order to earn credit. Dr. Curtis was responsive and helpful when I had questions. All in all I would recommend this course and any other Distance Calculus course.

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!

POSITIVES:
One of the best math classes I have ever taken. The lessons made the failures of my previous professors very apparent. In a few short minutes, things that I used to struggle with just clicked. This professor is top notch and really wants you to understand how to use the material.
NEGATIVES:
The SOFTWARE is extremely frustrating. Even after taking the time to learn, there are countless glitches. You learn to work around them, and overall, the software makes the math convenient, but its failures are sorely felt throughout the course. Make sure you save often as it crashes regularly, especially with graphs.
The assignments are easy enough but some of them don't line up with the taught material. Be prepared to do some of your own independent research to get a deeper understanding of why things are the way they are.
