Hundreds of students taking one of the University of Tennessee’s most popular courses, remedial algebra, arrived last week to the first day of class — in their dorm rooms. For the first time the university will deliver half of its Math 119 sections, which enroll about 1,000 students each fall, online. “It’s a challenging course for us because in some sense, it’s barely at the college level,” said Chuck Collins, a math professor in charge of the course. “We’ve been putting a lot of resources into it without a lot of success … when it comes to matching students with their ability and doing it in a cost-effective way.”
