Hi

I have a few more courses I need to take to finish my degree in math. I'm considering taking them online. I'm wondering if anyone could tell me their experience with either Athabasca or Thompson River Open Learning.
The courses I'm thinking of taking are:

I have taken some courses through both TRU-OL and Athabasca. I found the TRU-OL materials a bit old-fashioned but quite detailed. The tutors were generally good. The Athabasca courses I did were poorly organized but survivable.

I did not take any of the courses you linked to and I only did 2 through Athabasca, so it is a very small data set...
