Contemporary Math with Support Corequisite

MATH 1332 corequisite with NCBM 0185: A path to complete developmental math requirements and Contemporary Mathematics in one semester

What is this course all about?

NCBM 0185 is a course designed to support students as they progress through a traditional MATH 1332 course. Students will receive just-in-time remediation on prerequisite skills, as well as extra practice on the MATH 1332 material and help with study skills. 

Meeting Times

Students will attend class 4 hours a week, one hour for NCBM 0185 and three hours for MATH 1332. The support course meets before or after the paired Contemporary Mathematics course.

How much does this cost?

This is a 4 hour course - three hours for MATH 1332 and one hour for NCBM 0185. Students must sign up for both sections. One textbook will be used in both sections.

What about homework and testing?

Homework and exams will be done throughout the MATH 1332 course. There will not be additional exams for the NCBM 0185 course, though daily classwork will be completed and graded.

Who would be a good fit for this course?

• • Students who need MATH 1332 Contemporary Math for their degree program.

  • Students with the appropriate score on math TSI Assessment test or alternative placement criteria. 

  • TSI complete or exempt students who need/want extra support while taking MATH 1332.

  • Students who have unsuccessfully attempted MATH 1332.

Students must be able to commit to attending all class meetings and compete assignments on time. This would equate to 10 - 12 hours of math every week for the entire semester.

Need additional developmental math instruction?

If your math placement is not near TSI complete (college-ready) or would like more than a 1-hour support course, then MATD 0385/MATH 1332 (6 hours), Contemporary Math Express is the correct corequisite to meet your needs. Contemporary Math Express provides a more robust integration of just-in-time remediation and has additional supports, including a second instructor in the classroom.  Contact your advisor for more information.
