MATH 0999 - Support for College Algebra-Access Algebra

(2) Credit Hours
Prerequisite: MATH 0989 or appropriate MPI or Accuplacer scores between 28-39 on the Accuplacer Algebra Test.
Co-requisite: MATH 1111
This course is designed as a co-requisite course and should only be taken with MATH 1111 - College Algebra. Students enrolling in this co-requisite course must remain enrolled in both courses for the semester. Students will not be permitted to withdraw from one of the courses (either MATH 0999 or MATH 1111) and not the other. Students who do not successfully complete this course will be expected to re-enroll in the co-requisite model (Math 0099 and MATH 1111) or in MATH 0099 the following semester. This course is designed to support students taking MATH 1111: College Algebra with just-in-time assistance. Topics will parallel topics being studied in MATH 1111 as well as essential quantitative skills needed to be successful in MATH 1111. After successfully completing this course, the student will be able to: 1. Express and analyze relationships using functions in multiple ways (graphical, numerical, symbolic and verbal). 2. Manipulate mathematical information, concepts, and thoughts to solve problems and simplify expressions. 3. Demonstrate mathematical creativity and critical thinking by applying problem-solving strategies to solve multiple-step problems. 4. Use appropriate technology in the evaluation, analysis, and synthesis of information in problem-solving situations. 5. Use mathematical language appropriately. 6. Learn appropriate study skills to enhance the possibilities of future success in mathematics and science courses.
