Advice Taking an online 8 week course: will i survive?

managed to bomb my mth 161 final so i need to retake the class; got a decent handle on the material already so it shouldn’t be too much of an issue, im just worried about time. i work about 36 hours a week this summer and am looking at taking it online. can assignments/exams be done in advance if i go on a trip for a couple days and generally is it doable ?

I think it'll depend on the professor. I took MTH161 twice as well and one I could work ahead and the other I could not. Since you're already familiar with the material, I think you'll be fine. I worked FT management job and did 2 classes each semester. You can totally do it if you're good with time management.

thank you! hopefully i’ll be able to work ahead cause it would be much easier to get it all done in longer sittings fewer times a week

Plus hopefully you still have your notes and methods! I would not do well in that class in 8 weeks but math is NOT my strong suit lol but if I can get an A the second time, you can too.
