Just to add to this thread with my own question pertaining to this subject, at my college, I have to move in a line per se. Basically, it's like this, College Algebra >PreCalc >Calc. So, in order for me to take Calculus, I would have to take College Algebra, then PreCalc. I am not taking College Algebra this semester because all of the math classes were full, so I am currently not in a math class. But, next semester, my schedule will be Intro to Computing, English Comp I, US Government, Chemistry I w/ lab, and College Algebra. I tried to match it up close enough to a Plebe one, but the only thing I think is going to wreck me is College Algebra. Would that be a detriment? It wouldn't be until Semester 2 of next year (unless I take summer classes which I plan on doing) that I could eventually take Calculus. Would that be a detriment?
