Online Courses |
| |
| Online math courses are much more difficult than face-to-face instruction. The Aquinas Math Department recommends online math courses for highly motivated students with 6 - 10 hours of free time per week for reading, homework alone and online homework/discussions. Students who hesitate to enter homework on a web site and do not know how to work on their own should take the classroom versions of these courses. |
