There are opportunities to work with the teacher and other students in the course if the teacher has set up these assignments as an option.
Although the math is partially multiple-choice, it has “real world” problems. The lessons present the material in a way that relates back to how math is used in the real world.
Students can see how much each assignment is worth so they can gauge how much time and effort to spend on each assignment. This is a great skill to learn.
Things to Think About:
Requires strong reading and writing skills.
Assignments vary in complexity, so it is not always possible to set a consistent daily goal. In other words, finishing 1 lesson per day could mean a short quiz or a long paper.
