Abbreviation for Class Schedule(20 spaces) INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA |
|
Current Course Description: Basics of algebra, including arithmetic of signed numbers, order of operations, arithmetic of polynomials, linear equations, problem solving, factoring techniques, graphing lines, exponents, radicals, and quadratic equations. Credits earned apply for enrollment (eligibility) but do not apply toward a degree; satisfies no university or college requirement. Additional fee applies. Prerequisite: Math 070 with a grade of C- or better, or satisfactory score on WOU¿s math placement test |
|
New Course Description: Arithmetic of polynomials; quadratic equations verbally, numerically, graphically and symbolically; problem solving; factoring techniques; graphing linear, exponential, radical, and quadratic functions; and solving rational, and radical equations. Credits earned apply for enrollment (eligibility) but do not apply toward a degree; satisfies no university or college requirement. Additional fee applies. Prerequisite: Math 070 with a grade of C- or better, or satisfactory score on WOU¿s math placement test |
|
Justification for changing the course (e.g. alignment with other institutions, program revision, etc.): As coordinator for some of the lower level classes in the Mathematics Department, the Course Catalog descriptions did not appear to match what is actually taught in the course. The new proposed description accurately matches what is taught in the course. |
|
Students/Program affected: Anyone who takes MTH 095; Most important for determining transfer of credits and equivalent prerequisites from other institutions. |
