Math 1120 (6-week course)

Course Description

A 6-week course offered as an opportunity to save a failing grade for those who failed the first portion of the college algebra/trigonometry dual-class semester plan. After the college algebra final, those who do not pass are instead placed into the 6-week section where they review material to take a new final at the end of the regular semester. The course focuses on building study skills and practicing problems together, instead of the standard lecture-based class format. Freedom is given in how the class is organized and run. The goal is to help students pass algebra to continue to the calculus sequences, oftentimes working on their study techniques in the process. Requires writing and grading of all exams, as well as changing the course structure to fit the individual class' needs.
