Harvard Launches ‘Introductory’ Math Course for Students Due to Covid Learning Deficit
Harvard Launches New Intro Math Course to Address Pandemic Learning Loss
The Harvard Math Department will pilot a new introductory course aimed at rectifying a lack of foundational algebra skills among students, according to Harvard’s Director of Introductory Math Brendan A. Kelly.
The course, titled Math MA5, will run alongside two established math courses — Math MA and MB — with an expanded five-day schedule.
Kelly said that students in MA5 will meet with “one of two instructors all five days” with “a variety of different activities” on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

These kids are paying $84000 a year to take high school courses. They are trying to blame it on Covid, but I’ve got news for you. There are a lot of kids who didn’t get behind and aced Calculus and Differential Equations.
Harvard is not an elite school anymore.
