Catalog Description: Computer based self-paced course, offered under the guided instruction of a Mathematics Instructor. Students will focus on studying the mathematical topics they need to master to place into a higher level mathematics course. Offered weeks 6 ¿ 10. |
Course Goal and Objectives: Provide guided instruction to help students at any level prepare for increased success on the math placement test and future mathematics courses. |
Justification for adding the course (e.g. alignment with other institutions, program revision, etc.): Many of the students who enroll at WOU are not college-ready in mathematics. This course offers a quicker remediation option than MTH 070 and MTH 095 and helps students focus on the specific skills they need to learn to place into a college level mathematics class. |
Faculty and facilities needed: ¿ One computer lab per section for 4 hours per week for 5 weeks (currently scheduled as two 2-hour blocks) ¿ current Mathematics Department computer lab in MNB 110 is sufficient ¿ 1 faculty member ¿ currently covered by existing NTT faculty |
Brief Course outline: Students will work on individualized remediation plans using computer based software with guidance from instructor. MATH PREP B is offered weeks 6 ¿ 10 and students may choose to take the first course (MATH PREP A, MTH 067, offered weeks 1 ¿ 5) and then take MATH PREP B, or they may choose to start with the MATH PREP B course. |
