My post-bacc requires a calculus class and recommended this one, but I was wondering if anyone who has taken it has had any horror stories/if there is any reason I shouldn't take the class online through Berkeley Extension? thanks

I took it and had no problem! I didn’t really use the videos much because I thought the textbook did a great job (but I like learning from textbooks). The final isn’t weighted too heavily, so if you do well on the homework you really just have to pass the final. And it’s self-paced, so it was always easy to stay on top of it. I’d definitely recommend it!

Thanks!! And sorry, just a clarification: are you saying if I do well on the homework, I would just need to pass the final to get an A in the course, or would that also just be to pass the course?

To get an A! I pretty much barely passed the final (I was taking a full post-bac course load at the same time so I just didn’t study lol), but because I basically aced the homework, I still got an A. Totally doable!
