Math 142 @ Rio

U.S.A. Arizona

Published

Hi! I wanted to see if anyone had taken the accelerated version of Math 142 from Rio? Did you find the format challenging or was it okay? I do well in math but I haven't ever done the accelerated version and don't want to get in over my head as I have other classes I am doing as well!

Thanks!

Not sure what rio is or math 142...I immediately think of rio Hondo in Whittier, CA and math 142 is trig at my college. It honestly all depends. I personally enjoy math and have thought of taking a few classes just for fun. Algebra 2 and trig were fun in HS and I've considered taking college level just for a fun challenge. If you suck at math, I wouldn't consider an accelerated version. If you enjoy math, it should be a good challenge.

Rio is a community college is Arizona. They offer a lot of online classes that can be completed in a short time.

I took stat with Rio and it was do able. As long as you can self teach yourself you should be fine.

Sounds like you answered your own question. Also depends on the material. Some stuff is more black and white whereas other stuff is abstract. I could personally never take stats online but trig would not be impossible.

I took MAT 142 (3 credits) online at PVCC during the summer (5 week class). I put off the math nursing pre-req as long as possible. The math was not difficult but the online format was rough. I watched a lot of youtube tutorials but not having an instructor to ask face to face questions to made it hard. Mat 142 was the first "B" I had gotten in my nursing pre-reqs. I recommend taking it in person if possible because you should be able to get an A in person.

Buyer beware, BSN

Why you go all way to Rio to take Math course? The water polluted besides and you get Zika for the trouble.

yes! I signed up for the 16 week course but could move as quick as I wanted so I had it done in a month. It wasn't hard at all but I am pretty good at math
