Alittledeal Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I am currently studying for a foundation degree (sort of like an associates degree in the US) in Animal behaviour and Welfare. However, after a years internship, in September 2018 I will be transferring university to complete a top - up degree in Conservation Science. The university have warned me that that the course that I wish to transfer onto will be more maths/science heavy than my current one. To prepare, I have been doing some self study but in the process I have to realise that my maths skills are a bit weak in some foundational areas. As such, I'd like some suggestions for curricula that would be good for an adult learner. I would like to start at pre-algebra and keep going until I hit somewhere that needs proper study as opposed to re-cap. Is there a book or website that I could diagnose my weaknesses with? Also, grammar isn't taught very well in English secondary schools and I get constant comments about this in my feedback. Is there a programme/curriculum that would be good for an adult learner to sure up grammar. I have seen diagramming and this does not appeal to me so I would like to avoid this unless anybody can provide me with reasons why it is absolutely essential. Sorry this got a bit long! Thanks for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EndOfOrdinary Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Khan Academy does both math and grammar. I have found it ideal for what you are describing. I have a PreCalculus test which I have to pass in order to get into my degree program. I started in Algebra basics finished the section in a week. Now I am almost through Algebra (another week). If I keep this pace, I will be ready for the test in less than a month. When I miss a problem, it provides hints. These usually job my memory and after a few rounds of failing and hint looking, it clicks. There are a few sections that I just plain do not remember learning. For these I watch the videos. Plus, it is free and keeps track of your progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
