Are Distance Calculus Courses Completely Online?

Yes - 100% Online

Every Distance Calculus course is delivered completely online. There are no on-campus visits required at any point in any course. Coursework, instruction, communication with the instructor, exam administration, and the final proctored exam are all conducted remotely.

What "Online" Means in Practice

  • Asynchronous - no scheduled lectures, no weekly meetings, no synchronous class time.
  • Software-based - coursework is completed inside LiveMath or Mathematica notebooks and submitted electronically.
  • Real-time chat with the instructional team is available most days, evenings, and weekends.
  • Recursive grading happens through the course portal - submissions and feedback flow back and forth as you revise toward mastery.
  • The proctored final exam is administered live over video call (Skype/Zoom) with the Course Professor or Teaching Assistant - again, no travel required.

If you're looking for a traditional in-classroom experience or a textbook-only course with no software component, Distance Calculus is not the right fit. If you want a flexible, asynchronous, software-driven calculus course on a regionally accredited transcript, you're in the right place.

I did not enjoy Calculus I at my school. I retook Calculus I, and then Calculus II, over the summer via Distance Calculus and it was awesome. I started my sophomore year back on track and ready for my physics classes. I struggled with the MathLive software but I guess it was alright.

I really enjoyed this course, much more than I thought I would. I needed to finish this course very fast before starting my graduate degree program @ Kellogg. I was able to finish in 3 weeks. I liked the video lectures and the homework process. I highly recommend this course.

Great course. Because of this class I was able to meet the entry requirements for my EMBA program on a tight time window in addition to sharpening math skills from classes taken over 15 years ago!

Courses Completed: Precalculus, Calculus I
The courses were excellent. Very flexible and engaging and the platform offers a lot of upper-level courses. Dr. Curtis is an outstanding professor and very responsive. I would take again.

Courses Completed: Calculus I
After two failed attempts at my university, this course helped me understand Calculus. The live maths tool along with Dr. Curtis were especially helpful, allowing me to visualize concepts and expand my understanding. The explanations were clear, the examples practical, and I could learn at my own pace, which built my confidence. Thank you.
