MTH 15A - Math Fast Track

3 Credit(s)

Prerequisite(s): Designated placement score into MTH 20 or MTH 60 or MTH 65. Students should also be familiar with computers.

Course Description: Offers students the chance to improve math placement more than one level in one term. It is designed for students who need to take several math courses before entering a program and who have seen the material before and need to “fill in the gaps.” It is offered as an emporium-style math class that meets six hours per week in a computer lab using computer software that covers material from MTH 20 through MTH 95 (depending on the math level at which students enter the class and through which they are trying to complete). Class attendance is mandatory. Students work on online homework and take proctored online tests. Each student will be assigned a new math placement determined by in-person, proctored test score(s) at the end of the course. Course is graded on a pass/no pass basis. Course does not transfer. May not be offered every year. Please check with Department Chair.

Course Level: Postsecondary Remedial Math

Course Learning Outcomes:

CLO#1: Demonstrate proficiency in the topics for which placement is received: MTH 60 : Fundamental operations with whole numbers, fractions, decimals, integers, percentages, ratios, basic geometry and measurement. MTH 65 : Use mathematical problem solving techniques involving rational numbers, exponents, order of operation, linear equations, and systems of equations. MTH 95 : Use mathematical problem solving techniques involving polynomial and rational expressions and equations. (ILO: Quantitative literacy & reasoning)
