Students needing some help preparing for college math classes can take advantage of UW-La Crosse’s Massive Open Online Course, or MOOC for short. It’s a free course open to anyone in the world. “You can take it for a variety of reasons,” Bob Hoar, Associate Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs said. “Some are high school students preparing for college. Some are in college but haven’t taken a math class yet, others are home school kids.” You can work on the class whenever you feel like it. “There are really two paths through the course,” Hoar said. “They can stay with the instructor and move at the pace the instructor is moving or they can drop back and move at their own pace.”
