Computer-Assisted Math 015Computer-Assisted MATH 015 Some sections of Prealgebra (MATH015) are self-paced and include the use of computers to assist in learning topics in the course. Students may complete the course before the end of the semester but must attend each scheduled class until they meet the requirements for this course. A student must have computer skills and be self motivated to work outside the classroom using the internet. To find which classes are self-paced, view Brookdale's printed course schedule. Or, if you are looking online using Brookdale's "search for sections," click on each section to see whether it is self-paced or not. Math 015 is a prealgebra course. It prepares students for elementary algebra (MATH 021 or MATH 025). Operations with whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and integers are reinforced through application problems. Other topics include organizing data in tables and graphs, introduction to probability and statistics, formulas, ratio and proportion, percent, practical geometry, evaluating algebraic expressions, expressing rules using variables (input/output tables), absolute value, and solving simple algebraic equations. This is a developmental course in the basic skills and will not be counted towards degree requirements. NOTE: Students taking MATH 015 may not enroll simultaneously in any other math course. (Prerequisites: None; placement is based on scores on the college placement test.) |
