Whether online or in the classroom, any math class can be a difficult course, especially if the student has not taken the prerequisite for the course. You are possibly not saving yourself time by not taking the required prerequisite. This course will challenge you and require time on your part to complete. Online courses are more difficult than face to face courses and require a higher level of dedication. |

|
You
will need to spend as much time on this online course as you would in an
in-class version. An in-class version of Math 095 meets approximately 4 hours
per week. As a rule, for every hour you are in class, you need to spend a
minimum of 2 hours studying. So, 4 + (4 x 2) = 12 hours per week. Don't sign
up for the course unless you are able to commit a great deal of time to it. |

|
Yes, you can move at your own pace. When you are done with the online unit exams you can take the final exam and be done with the course at that point. There are deadlines for all of the unit exams. If deadlines are not met for the exams, the student will not be allowed to make them up! |

|
The course space is limited—if you enroll and then don’t participate, or drop the course early on, be aware that you are depriving another student (who may not have other options for completing the course) of this opportunity. If you are serious about taking Math 095 online, follow these steps:
