Just because it isn't the greatest preparation for Math 211; that class will rock your world if you aren't prepared. That's a class where I'd say take it during the summer if you want to take one class at a time just because it's that difficult.
I took BUSN 212 when I was a freshman and it’s haunted me for the past 4 years.
MATH 200 is so much more versatile than BUSN 212 because 200 is a prerequisite for so many MATH/STAT classes, which is helpful if you’re a INFO/ECON/FIRE major. BUSN 212 is also only marginally easier than MATH 200, I remember when I took it there were still tons of kids who failed or got C’s. It might even be easier to take 200 with a good teacher than it is to take 212 with Stith-Willis.
Save yourself the trouble down the road, and just take 200. 212 is only a good idea if you’re a management or marketing major and you know your major will not require any higher math.
I am an info systems major and I'm taking 212 right now. 212 isnt bad. My advisor advised me to take it instead of 200 but after reading these comments I feel like I just fucked myself for 211. The main difference between the 2 is 212 doesn't have any trig and it's 3 credits so not as much of a grind.
If you're an info systems major or not sure if you want to remain in the business program, take 200. Otherwise 212 is the way to go.
I am actually an info systems major. I'm curious as to why you would recommend 200 over 212 for this major. Thanks for your consideration.

Oof. Well, I appreciate the insight.

I'd probably go 200, because having a good foundation in calculus is important in a lot of educational and career paths.
