I don’t know if I should take M 408C this fall at UT, or to take Calculus 1 @ ACC. This upcoming year is going to be my third year. I haven’t taken calculus since my first semester where I bombed my 408L class with an F! I took calculus my senior year in high school and passed the AP exam to get credit for 408C. I want to retake it so I can relearn the material.

If I do take 408C I will be taking James Vick. He has really good reviews on myedu.com, but on his syllabus from last fall it says that he doesn’t allow calculators.

Its been a good 2 years since I’ve been around calculus so I feel like I won’t do so good in the class since I need to brush up some.

Do you think I should just go for it? And I should learn my way through, or take the longer/(maybe) easier route at ACC?
