The purpose of this course is to prepare at-risk students for entry into and success in entry-level college math coursework. Emphasis will be on acquisition of foundational math skills via (1) regular classroom instruction and (2) completion of purpose-designed worksheets supplemented with computer-based talking textbooks. Talking textbooks provide the students with an “any-time” classroom in which each topic in the workbook is demonstrated in narrated, step-by-step detail. All class materials are tailored to English language learners (ELLs).
Note:: Note: “Achieving College Excellence” is a sequence of course modules designed to assist transitional degree students who have not achieved full degree status, as determined by COMET scores, in preparing them for entry into a degree program. Upon passing all course modules, they shall be deemed minimally qualified to engage in degree coursework.
