Business Math Express Corequisite

MATH 1324 corequisite with MATD 0424: A path to complete developmental business math and math for business in one semester.

What are these courses all about? 

This combined course provides students with an opportunity to complete their developmental math requirements AND Math for Business and Economics in one semester. The course will use “just in time remediation” integrating developmental math skills right before they are needed in the Math for Business and Economics course. This building block approach allows students to learn developmental business math and advance these skills to the college level. This is different than the traditional approach where the student learns all the developmental math skills in one semester (or two) and then takes the college level course in a subsequent semester, hoping that they recall all the developmental math skills that they have previously learned.

Meeting Times

This course meets either 4 or 5 days a week for a total of 7 hours. Since the assignments and information presented in each class builds on the content from the previous classes, daily attendance is required. 

How much does this cost?

This is a 7 hour course - three hours for MATH 1324 and four hours for MATD 0424. Students must sign up and pay for both sections.  The cost of an electronic textbook is included with the cost of tuition.  A free supplemental textbook is also used for this course.

Why are two instructors listed?

There will be two instructors assigned to this course, instruction will be traded off between instructors depending on the topic covered. Both instructors will be in the classroom during class time.

What about homework and testing?

Homework is assigned each class meeting and is due the next day. There will be tests every other week.
