Read all of the information on this website. Be sure to login to blackboard and click on the Start Here link on the left panel and read over everything.
Once you have finished reading all of the information including the syllabus, you will need to complete the Start Here quiz. The quiz will be available on the first day of the semester and will be due three days later, 2/20, by 11:59pm. You must complete the start here quiz, and the prerequisite test on MyMathLab by Thursday, 2/20, or you will be withdrawn from the course.
Make sure you are in the right course
You can find helpful information about math courses, prerequisites, and course sequences on the ACC Math student website.
This special section of the course uses a textbook in combination with MyLab Math, which is a computer program designed to take the place of classroom learning. It includes video lectures, homework assignments, and quizzes as required components of the course. It also offers some optional features such as study guides and an online solutions manual.
In this class, you will be in charge of your learning in a different way from a traditional lecture class. You may work ahead of schedule and complete the course before the end of the semester. You also may spend less time on familiar topics and more time on troublesome topics. In order to complete the course this semester, you must keep up with the weekly schedule and test schedule provided. The program is available all day every day. The material from the first two tests is significantly easier and more familiar than the material from the last two tests so please prepare to spend more time on the material from Chapters 4 and 5.
If you receive an error message while working in MyLab Math, visit the technical support page for MyLab Math. This page includes a list of frequently asked questions, as well as contact information for live chat or telephone. If they are unable to help you, please ask your instructor for help.
Please be advised that you must have the ability to get to an ACC testing center (or approved proctoring location which you can find by clicking here) for testing purposes. A list of all ACC testing centers and their hours can be found clicking here.
