MAT 0157 - Modularized Developmental Mathematics II
4 College Prep Credits
(Fall, Spring)
This course is designed to help students develop computational & algebra skills needed for success in college level mathematics. This course uses a modular format in a lecture/lab setting. Students will take a diagnostic test in class to identify skills that have not been mastered and to determine placement into the appropriate modules. Each student will have an individualized learning plan such that he or she works only on skills not yet mastered. Possible topics in the learning plan include operations on signed numbers, solving linear equations and inequalities in one variable, graphing linear equations, operations with exponents and polynomial expressions, factoring polynomials and solving quadratic equations, introduction to rational expressions, and operations with square roots. Students will use computerized instruction as well as guided instruction by the instructor. Successful completion of this course requires mastery of the material in each module and a passing score of the department final exam. Course cannot be used toward AA or AS degree.
Prerequisite(s): MAT 0018 with a grade of “C” or better or a score of 96-113 on the PERT.
* College preparatory credits may not be counted toward fulfilling the number of credits required for a degree.
