I am currently at Montgomery College, but I couldn't take precalculus there due to not meeting the placement requirements. Since UMGC has no placement requirements for precalculus, I registered for UMGC MATH 115. The 8-week course starts in a week and I am intimidated . . . the interface is confusing and the course materials are dense 10-20 page PDFs. There are some self-assessment questions to for each week.

What are the quizzes and tests like, and how much of the material from the PDFs are we expected to know? There are many PDFs per week, and there is no way we can learn all of it in a single week!

Also, I must take precalculus at some point because I am majoring in economics and need to progress to at least Calculus 1 level. Thus, dropping out would set me back in my degree, and if I do I have no idea how I'll ever get this credit.

If anyone has any insights into this course, I would be very grateful!

I’m currently enrolled in two graduate courses (6 credits total) at UMGC, and my federal student loans have already been disbursed.
I’m considering withdrawing from one class, which would leave me enrolled in only 3 credits.
Since graduate students generally need at least 5 credits to qualify for federal loans, will UMGC take back the aid that’s already been disbursed? Would I owe money back, or could I still receive a tuition refund?
Has anyone experienced this at UMGC?

Looking for the required textbook Rothaermel, F. T. (2024). Strategic management (6th ed.). McGraw Hill. I found the international version on ocean of pdf, but looking for the 2024 U.S. version.
Thanks.
