Corequisite

MTH 105Z

Course Description

Focuses on the foundational skills, concepts, and communication needed to be successful in MTH 105Z Math in Society. Provides appropriate support in arithmetic skills, algebra skills, technology, and study skills in an interactive setting. Corequisite: MTH 105Z.

Course Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

  1. Solve application problems, and communicate and interpret the results in context.
  2. Demonstrate relevant skills to effectively engage with the concepts and skills needed in MTH 105Z.
  3. Utilize study habits and learning strategies that promote success in MTH 105Z.

Suggested Outcome Assessment Strategies

The determination of assessment strategies is generally left to the discretion of the instructor. Here are some strategies that you might consider when designing your course: writings (journals, self-reflections, pre writing exercises, essays), quizzes, tests, midterm and final exams, group projects, presentations (in person, videos, etc), self-assessments, experimentations, lab reports, peer critiques, responses (to texts, podcasts, videos, films, etc), student generated questions, Escape Room, interviews, and/or portfolios.

Course Activities and Design

The determination of teaching strategies used in the delivery of outcomes is generally left to the discretion of the instructor. Here are some strategies that you might consider when designing your course: lecture, small group/forum discussion, flipped classroom, dyads, oral presentation, role play, simulation scenarios, group projects, service learning projects, hands-on lab, peer review/workshops, cooperative learning (jigsaw, fishbowl), inquiry based instruction, differentiated instruction (learning centers), graphic organizers, etc.
