Would it be dumb to attempt the College Algebra class under these circumstances? I am a relatively bright person and know/understand general math and am a good student otherwise. I am a hard worker and will certainly take advantage of math labs and such that are offered at school. I am not looking to obtain an A .... a C would be fine.

Thanks in advance.

Well, it looks as though you're still in good condition with your math skills, but I'd definitely brush up rather than take Intermediate. If all you're willing to obtain is a C, not that I'm in any real position to give you good advice, you could probably get one in this class if not better.
