“I have used many things that I learned in your class. I am helping a student in Calculus right now and was just telling her how beneficial your class was. Thank you for everything!” ~ M.S.
“I feel they provided exceptional help and support in the course, and I am very pleased to have worked with them. They gave immediate responses to questions and issues and were very understanding when my work commitments conflicted with the class schedule.” ~ Tim W
“I'd especially like to acknowledge the great support I got from my mentor. He was always responsive to my questions and helped me stay on track. His encouragement was very much appreciated. It kept me motivated to do my best. He was a key element in making the course effective and enjoyable.” ~ Tom M.
“Thank you for offering this program. For me, having to work full time, it is the only way I can learn math from a high-quality University.” ~ Edwin F.
“After returning back to school 20 years later, this is the third math course I've taken and by far the best.” ~ Ron H.
“I am definitely the kind of student who did not thrive in the typical lecture environment. This class was administered well, and the course material is fun and engaging. I would recommend it to anyone!” ~ Trafton E.
“I loved the course. I've worked in e-learning systems for seven years so it was great to see a format so well adapted to the online medium. The materials and Mathematica really let you explore so you can get an intuitive feel for the concepts. Having a mentor beside you and being able to schedule tests to advance at your own rate made it an ideal choice for refreshing my math.” ~ Daniel P.
“My attitude about math has turned around in a way I could never have imagined. I always felt a sense of deep dread even hearing the word mathematics. I now actively pursue it.” ~ Ryan B.
“NetMath was the most fun and interesting mathematics course I have ever experienced in my life. If people were to ask me if they should take a course like this, I would tell them to jump at the opportunity, because it will probably turn a negative attitude about math into a good one, and a positive attitude about math into an even better one. Just think: I even got a head start on my college education and it was fun!!!” ~ Mindy G.
“I truly enjoy the NetMath program and have found the two previous classes I took - (Math) 220 & 231 - to be top notch.” ~ Benjamin B
“I would just like to say that I think that the program is great. The classes offer a very flexible and user-friendly learning environment which allows students to learn when they want to and how they want to.” ~ Rob G.
“The course is great. I'm really happy that circumstances forced me to take an Internet-based math class because it gave me a chance to see what's possible. I thought the materials were ingeniously designed. I can only imagine how difficult it must be to write materials that anticipate the way students think and lead them in the correct direction.” ~ James C.
"I chose NetMath because I was looking for a self-paced Linear Algebra course that would grant transferable credits upon completion. The first few weeks of the course were honestly pretty daunting in terms of getting used to Mathematica and trying to understand the course material. However, after learning the syntax and completing the assignments for the first two lessons, things get much clearer from thereon and you'll start to appreciate the way the lessons are presented. This is especially true because most of the concepts you'll learn will be supplemented with a lot of visualizations which I thought was the single best thing about this course. I would say the difficulty of this course is fair, provided you keep up with the material and do all the assignments. Overall, I'd say I enjoyed this course and I'd recommend it to other students who are looking for a reasonably challenging course that would allow them to work on their own pace." ~ Abdul N.
"I have to say that I have really enjoyed this course so far. I like the self-paced aspects, and I think someone did a great job writing these lessons. I was pretty amazed by how well you learn the material in this method.” ~ Barry P.
“I liked that we were assigned a mentor to help out with navigating the course and course material, I like the application of the concepts we learned to other aspects of life (that helped me learn a lot)." ~ Jaime
"What a blessing NetMath was. Modern/Abstract algebra was not being offered at my institution so Illinois made it possible to get a more robust degree component. I enjoyed the self pacing feature; it teaches time management while allowing the student to determine his/her own priorities on the daily. My mentor was extremely willing to aid, talk, and email and the exam process was smooth, I do think a forum with a little more activity would’ve been neat." ~ Miguel V.
"I liked having a mentor that I could go over questions with when I was struggling with concepts. Having a person talk through problems was helpful. I think having video lectures available would also be helpful because it provides a way for audio-based learners to get the most out of the course." ~ Anonymous
"I had a very good learning experience in NetMath. The teaching materials and assignments are very helpful with my solid understanding of the knowledge. The mentor and grader is very professional and serious about the students' questions and confusions. The courseware and the Mathematica are also helpful with my exploring deep in what I learnt in the class." ~ Anonymous
"I liked the course's logical integration of Mathematica instead of standard math tutoring practices. The assignments were both informative and humorous. The turnaround time on my doubts was minimal removing the barriers that usually exist with online learning." ~ Anonymous
"I would just like to thank everyone at NetMath for the wonderful experience that I had back in 2018-2019. I recall Professor Joe Miles' courses in both real and complex analysis and how, among all the undergraduate and now graduate classes I've taken, they were some of the best lectures I've listened to. This is a testament to the quality of instruction as well as the quality of the NetMath platform. I would also like to thank all of my mentors who were wonderful as well and greatly enhanced my experience." ~ Hashim
