Are You Trying To Learn Calculus In A Lecture Hall?

Are You Bored? Frustrated? Can’t Fit Calculus Into Your Work/Class/Life Schedule? Need to Try Calculus a Different Way?

The Usual: Calculus in a Lecture Hall

• A big classroom, sometimes with hundreds of other students
• Classtime that may not fit into your work or course schedule
• Writing down notes like a stenographer
• Noisy lecture halls make it difficult to concentrate
• Long, boring homework assignments
• Deadlines that, once missed, are not recoverable
• Rarely meet with the professor, often only with a T.A.
• Cramming for a big scary final exam at the end of term
• Can’t see the board
• Ending up with a useless textbook

The Alternative: Distance Calculus!

• Interesting and engaging reform-based e-curriculum
• Learn by Doing, Not by Watching
• Majority of assignments completed via computer algebra and graphing programs
• Intensive communication with professor and teaching assistants
• Mastery-learning approach provides flexible time management: as slow as needed for success, or fast as your skills warrant
• Start the course when you want – mid-term, off-term. Finish the course when you finish it – mid-term, after-term, summer, winter vacation
• Work on your Calculus course on your schedule: morning, afternoons, evenings, weekends
• Learn Calculus and software/technology skills that will stay with you long after the course finishes
• Need a Calculus Refresher? Distance Calculus means you go as fast as your skills warrant, or as slow as you need to go to succeed
