how to determine tuning

i havent done anything past calcII yet. I'm at a 2 year school atm, and the Calc3 (I believe its differential eq's) is a distance learning course. I tried taking a DL Statics course and it sucked. I don't need anything else, but would like to get back into it just to remember stuff. Thank God for AP classes though. $83 for 10 credits beats paying for 2 college courses any day.

calc 3 (lin alg and diff eq) wasn't too bad for me (neither were I or II)

but calc4 (multivariable) is a b*tch! at least at my school.

calc 1-3 are all layed out by the same prof. and it's all in packets and handouts.

they were some of the easiest technical classes i've taken.

calc 4 is different, and has a very hard lab.

i ended up dropping it the first time i took it (the technology version).

i then re-took the liberal arts version over the summer (only one offered), and it was much easier.

that one class (4 credits) was over $1500!

Calc I = the easiness

The Clac II portion of the Advanced placement test wasn't such a cakewalk. But it's pretty much like a pumped-up college final exam. One test determines the grade for the whole semester's worth of work. Still got like a B on the Calc II part though (Calc I was PERFECT: )

i hear dif q is insane.

According to my Calc teacher in high school, calc 3 +4 were supposed to be easy compared to Calc II, cuz there's just so much crammed in to that class. I guess its just relative to the student though.

Calc II is much harder than III and IV. I'm in Diff eq this coming semester...
