That's what I'm finding. I started with one course because I was worried about time to study and time with my wife and child, but now I'm thinking I could do 2 courses probably without too much concern.

My only worry is the Math course. Not having gone to University or high school in 20 years I'm fearful. The other courses have been easy so far though, but like you I'm working on the field, so it's not so new to me.

The math courses were surprisingly difficult for me, but in general, quite good. I spent way too much time on College Algebra (I kid you not, like 20+ hours every week--the pace is insane, they give you like 20-40 pages to read, and a number of assignments).

I'm happy I went through them, but yea, MATH1201 was kinda difficult and MATH1280 was super boring (but not as difficult to be honest).

A fellow student at UoPeople here. I too spent an enormous amount of time on College Algebra. I did nothing but math, morning till evening, all day every day. I dreamt about math at night. And guess what? It was one of the best periods of my life. I fell in love with math.

Yep, same here... I also thoroughly enjoyed it, and was deeply dissatisfied with how easy was the final test, which for me tested very little. Seeing as they do not allow a calculator, that limits a lot of possibilities for problems on the test.
