About the course
This course is intended for students looking to create a solid algebraic foundation of fundamental mathematical concepts from which to take more advanced courses that use concepts from precalculus, calculus, probability, and statistics. This course will help solidify your computational methods, review algebraic formulas and properties, and apply these concepts model real world situations. This course is for any student who will use algebraic skills in future mathematics courses. Topics include:
The dissent
The most-upvoted critical review (7 votes, 2.0★).
“The professor speed talks through a bunch of math. If you're trying to learn, this is not the course for you. If you already know the material and are just in need of a refresher and a certificate, go for it.”
Coursera's 4.8 comes from 656 ratings. Of those, 2.4% are 1–2★.
Starisk reads the reviews learners voted most helpful, and weights each by the square root of its votes: a review with 80 upvotes counts about five times one with 2. Unvoted reviews are not skipped out of laziness — by this model they carry no evidence that other students endorsed them.
That measures what the most-endorsed reviews say, not “true quality.” The rating distribution above is the whole population, so you can see the sample next to it.
