We have a co-requisite class that we offer students taking College Algebra called Math Assistance for College Algebra.  The course is lab course requiring students to spend two hours a week in our Math Center in a study group with their embedded tutor.  We also offer this same support course for Trigonometry.  This is the first semester that we have offered the support course, but our preliminary results looks really good.

Subject: Basic Math Skills while in College Credit Courses

 

Hello to all, We are looking to explore the possibility of providing workshops for students who are taking college credit math courses such as College Algebra but are lacking the basic algebra skills. We do not offer a developmental math course that would address these skills. Our model is for students who do lack skills (determined by placement scores) to take College Algebra over two semesters. The workshops would be offered concurrently as students are taking the College Algebra. I would like to know if other schools offer something similar. If so, what is the structure of that support - once a week attendance? What is the attendance rate? Success rate? Impact? Collaboration with math faculty? Any information would be helpful as we explore the design of supporting our students. Thank you for your feedback.
