I am almost halfway through the Math 25 College Algebra Summer Fast Track class here at Chaffey. I don't mind it, and so far I've been able to keep up with it. It turns out it's a hybrid class, with some of the class being online (mostly the homework system of ConnectMath with a digital textbook), and class meetings being held in person....
When I first selected my Math 425 professor in Fall 2016, I didn't do any research on him. I took the class because it was available Friday nights, and I wanted to have my Saturdays open, but that should have been my secondary concern.

Finals are over! Spring 2017 is done! You're free! Freeedooooom! Ok. Get it out of your system because I am going to suggest something that is going to put a damper on your Summer plans (which, if you are a non-traditional student like me, you don't have because you work full time anyway and don't get Summer breaks...). What is that thing you...
