Are Distance Calculus Courses Offered Over Winter and Summer Terms?

Yes.

All Distance Calculus courses are offered year-round, during all terms: Fall, Winter, Spring, Summer.

Distance Calculus @ Roger Williams University does not follow the traditional academic calendar, nor follow academic terms, unlike almost all other programs available online and on-campus.

This means if you wish to complete one of the Distance Calculus courses over YOUR Winter Break, Distance Calculus is ready for you!

What is "Winter Break"?

Winter Break or Winter Intersession is different for EVERYONE!

Some students finish their Fall terms at Thanksgiving; some finish Fall just before Christmas holidays; and some students do not finish Fall Semester until mid-January!

With our Revolving Enrollment and asynchronous course structure, you may plan to complete your mathematics course during YOUR Winter break, whenever that is!

We do recommend that you ENROLL NOW in anticipation of your Winter break. You have 1 year to complete your course from the date of enrollment, so there is (almost) no reason to wait to enroll. It is best to get the enrollment process completed now, work a little towards getting the software installed on your computer, and get some of the beginning assignments out of the way in a relaxed fashion, so that when your Winter break starts, you have some momentum in your course, which you can then accelerate and "hit the ground running".

Some institutions have rules about their students taking courses over Winter Semester and Summer Semester, and these students need to make sure the Semester of Enrollment is one of these Winter or Summer terms. If your college/university has such rules, please include this information in your Enrollment Application so that we can work with you and the Registrar at Roger Williams University to get you placed into one of these special semester designations.

What is "Summer Term"?

Summer Term means different dates to different students. Some students finish their Spring terms in May, and some do not finish their Spring terms until the end of June.

With our Flexible Enrollment, you can plan to engage your mathematics course with Distance Calculus on YOUR schedule.

It is best that you ENROLL sooner rather than later, given that you will have 1 year to finish your course, there is no need to wait for a term start or end date. Enroll Now, get the administrative and software tasks completed, and perhaps start your course as time permits now - with the anticipation that when YOUR Summer Term starts, you will have everything ready to go go go on your course.

This is the most interactive and productive online course I have ever taken. I had taken calculus before but never understood some of the underlying concepts until I took this course.
If you want to really learn calculus in a way that will stay with you for the rest of your life, take this course.

I found out from my grad school after being accepted that I needed a Calculus course before starting their MBA program. I had less than 6 weeks to do it (and as a non-STEM undergrad no less). The video lectures were informative, the pre-calc refresher was great to get re-conditioned, and the asynchronous format worked so well as I did this at night/weekends after work. I completed it in 4 weeks. Professor Curtis was extremely responsive, graded assignments quickly, and a supportive guide providing constructive feedback to me to excel at the assignments. I highly recommend this course for those who need a pre-req in a hurry or like learning on their own schedule. Thanks, Distance Calculus and Professor Curtis!

Courses Completed: Multivariable Calculus
Distance Calculus was a life saver! I needed an accredited program to complete multi-variable calculus for grad school and at the time was an American living in England. Being able to take the course on my own timeline, from my own home, was amazing! The content was thorough and the visualization exercises were very helpful for comprehension and understanding. This was an exceptionally, affordable, thorough, and convenient course that I found a lot of value in and I’m thankful it was available to me!

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.
