| MAT 095S - Introductory Algebra Self-Paced |
|
An alternative to MAT 095 for students who are highly motivated, goal oriented and able to independently move through the course material. Students set their own deadlines; instructor assistance is available during class and Math Studio time. Students use an online homework system both in and out of class. This course is an introductory algebra course that assumes a working knowledge of basic arithmetic skills. Students study topics that include the concept of a variable, negative numbers, properties of real numbers, numeric and algebraic expressions, linear equations and inequalities in one variable including their graphic representations, ratio and proportion, quadratic equations (with no linear term) in one variable, integer exponents (including scientific notation) and graphing of two-variable equations (by plotting points). Students work with applications throughout the course to help them understand and connect algebraic concepts to real world situations.
NOTE: Students can enroll in this course at any time during the semester (based on seat availability) and work as quickly as they wish to complete the course during the semester. This course may not be used to fulfill degree or certificate requirements. A grade of C minus or higher is required to pass this course (Ds are not awarded).
Special Requirement: Students need access to high-speed internet for homework.
Prereq: MAT 090, MAT 090S or satisfactory
placement; ENG 094 or satisfactory
placement or concurrent enrollment.
Recomm: If you've never been successful in or it has been
decades since you studied introductory algebra or if you
received a C or C- in MAT 090 or MAT 090S, then consider
taking MAT 094 before taking MAT 095S or MAT 095.
