There were so many resources and step by step guides that really helped me through this. Will be renewing my membership next month and referring a friend.
by Roslyn W. on October 3, 2026
I love these courses. I don’t work so I’m able to move through them pretty quickly. One think I like about the touchstones is that it has really helped me with my writing. Going back to school at 47, I’m a tad rusty on all that. These touchstone have hopefully prepared me a little bit more for USM. Thank you so much for offering this learning site. This is going to mean a lot to my family once I earn my degree.
by Kristelle F. on October 3, 2026
It was good ... I took a TON of notes which I was very grateful for!! I felt like the Graph of Log Function lesson was insufficient because I thought it should have given one alternate example of what it would look like if, for example, y=logb(x+6). All in all though, this felt like it took me right back to High School!
by Mark P. on October 3, 2026
I love that all of the exams are open book! Makes me more confident in my answers.
by Kristen A. on October 3, 2026
Learned a lot about a course I was initially not particularly keen about, amazingly easy to understand and very digestible notes!
