What makes FSA classes different from regular algebra classes?
The topics are the same as regular algebra classes. The pace is the same. However, the term is divided into five 2-week-long modules. Each module must be passed separately in order to continue to the next module. Modules can be repeated without penalty. Re-takes allow a student to be successful even if they need a slower pace or if life events disrupt their studies. If a student does not pass a module there is simply no credit granted. Because the modules are only 8 classes long, students need to start studying from the beginning day of class.
