Student Feedback
Before this course, I never thought that finances and the Bible could relate. However, I was so wrong! The bible says a lot about money, greed, and contentment as they relate to our financial and spiritual lives.
I have always struggled with math, but business math was one of my favorite classes and I always looked forward to what I would learn in this class. Thank you for making my school year fun!
One of the main things that have stood out to me is the knowledge I’m gaining on real-world math problems. I’m learning how to pay my taxes, buy a car, and own a house. These things are essential to know and I like how this course is giving me tips and tricks on how to deal with these problems.
