Summer Class experiences??

I guess you can call me a math-a-phob. I was the exact opposite, I was in extra help classes since 2nd grade. I have had tutors. I did extremely well with Geometry. Even in High School Chemistry and Physics! I liked how they give you equations. I guess I just don't have math logic. I don't really hate it, I guess we just don't mesh. I like Physical Sciences like Earth Science and Biology.

I understand as a Wildlife Biologist or whatever I wind up doing I will need math, but a former wildlife professional I work with told me stats was very important and you need to know survey techniques but over a period of years and years you build upon it. She never needed anything they taught her in Calc!

I wound up registering for the summer 11 week term and than I can take Pre-calc in the Fall.....and BE DONE WITH ALGEBRA...forever Probably till I try to get a Masters and they tell me I need Calculus, ugh. But till then, I will be so excited and relieved. I just hope my 3.6 GPA doesn't go down the tubes. They'll probably be a thread about that!

Thanks for the input!

ETA: I got a 74 on test #3, just one more to go! I know some people probably think I am nuts for thinking of that as a great grade but for me it's almost an A LOL.

I did a four year bachelor's degree in three years by taking summer classes. They tend to have smaller enrollment so you can get more individual help if you need it and since you aren't taking a full course load you can focus more.

I worked full time during the summers as well, part time during the regular semesters. I still had time to for other activities in the summer. Too much time occasionally!

I struggled with the math requirements too! I feel your pain! My hubby can do complicated calculations in his head; I need a calculator to make change sometimes! Good luck in your course!
