Mathematics Curriculum
Academic Systems Computer Mediated Learning Lab
Important Note MATH 62, 70, 72, and 97 are
offered in Academic Systems Math lab and lecture
formats. The lab classes are designed
for students who wish to review arithmetic and
algebra concepts in a self-study environment.
All instruction is through the use of Academic
Systems interactive computer software. Students
must be self-motivated and have previous success
in learning math via independent study. See the
Mathematics- Academic Systems section of the
Class Schedule for availability and more
information. Students who have not had previous
success in learning math via independent study
are advised to take the lecture versions of
these courses. Math Resource Modules The Math
Center offers a series of 2 credit modules
designed to supplement MATH 62, 70, 72, and 97.
The courses are listed as R in the course
schedule (i.e., Math Module for Math 62 is Math
62R). Students can choose one or more of the
following activities 1) using math videos 2)
using math computer courseware 3) using
supplemental printed resource material or 4)
participating in MLC tutoring. You are
encouraged to register for a Math Module if 1)
you need extra help while taking one of these
courses. 2) you are not taking a course yet,
but you want to build specific skills before
you enter a math course. Note The module
courses DO NOT Meet the prerequisite for the next
course in sequence. (Math 72R does not count as
Math 72).
