Description:

Students earn 4-credit hours (3 credit hours for MATH 111 Fundamentals of Math and 1 credit hour for LS 174 Learning Strategies for Math). This course facilitates mathematics learning by integrating thinking skills, study skills and mathematical content. The student will acquire life-long learning skills along with fundamental math procedures and concepts. Students in this learning community class will learn problem solving, test taking and cognitive skills. They will apply these skills to their math textbook, homework assignments, class discussions and lectures. This course will also address emotions and attitudes which may block math learning and will offer strategies and techniques designed to overcome these feelings. Active learning will be encouraged through activities such as pair and share, journal writing, group discussions, self-assessments and collaborative learning. MATH 111 will not fulfill degree requirements.
