I am going to be taking a math course in college, and it's been 15 years since I've taken mathematics. Actually, more like 18 because my parents put me in Vo-Tech in my last 2 years of high school, so my last math class, Honors Geometry, was in 10th grade.
I am, obviously going to be taking a remedial math course to help me "re-learn" the basics, because when I was taking college courses 4 years ago, I chose College Algebra, I was getting the correct answers, but could NOT explain how I was, so I knew I needed to drop the course and "go back" to a lesser course so I could re-learn what the processes are and how I was getting the answers (and no, I didn't have a cheat guide).
So, my choices are "Mathematics: Basic Math" or "Beginning Algebra"
I know my fractions and decimals and basic math...so should I go ahead and enter Basic Algebra and work my way back up that way? Or would it be wise to go with basic math, THEN beginning algebra and so forth?
Thanks!
