MATHM 97 - Intermediate Algebra-Resource Module

Credits: 1-2
Uses self-paced, individual computer mediated learning to supplement concepts learned in MATH 97 . Recommended for students who want extra work in MATH 97  and for those who need to work on specific skills to prepare for MATH 97 . Students use software to learn standard concepts from MATH 97 . Students investigate Math Learning Center resources such as videos, computers, supplementary books, and/or drop-in tutoring to work on concepts learned in MATH 97 . A minimum of 22 hours of work must be completed to receive one credit, 44 hours for two credits. This is a pass/no credit course.

Course Outcomes:
Students who successfully complete this class will be able to:

1. Identify and graph functions and interpret function notation.
2. Solve rational, radical, and quadratic equations.
3. Perform operations with rational, radical, and quadratic equations and expressions containing rational exponents.
4. Derive linear and quadratic equations.
5. Apply the mathematical techniques of the course to practical applications.
6. Use resources available to students on campus such as the Math Learning Center.
