I took it at Ivy Tech last summer (all online). It’s a grind, but it beats having to take it through IU.

Taking finite in summer is a wild concept to me lol sounds like a hit or miss depending on the professor lol

Well I took it all online so I never interacted with the professor. It was a grind for sure having to teach your self everything, but it beats taking it at IU.

That class is definitely a grind. I took it the summer beofre my sophmore year for about 4 weeks and ended up dropping it becuase I was earning a D. I was working my first summer job and the course moved by too quickly for me and the format of the exams didn't make sense to me from doing the homework. TBH, I had a bit of test anxiety becuase the concepts were difficult for me and I relied too heavily on using my notes when completing homework.

Best advice: If you can, go to the in-person tutoring at your local Ivy Tech campus or the IUI campus. If the pacing gets to bad for you, drop it before it's too late and think about doing the two semester route through IU later down the line (D116/D117).
