MATH 114

Discussion boards are collaborative learning experiences. Therefore, the student is required to provide a thread in response to the provided prompt for each forum. Each thread must be at least 200 words and demonstrate course-related knowledge. In addition to the thread, the student is required to reply to 2 other classmates’ threads. Each reply must be at least 50 words.

The student will complete a homework assignment each module/week in the ConnectMath website that is associated with the course textbook. Assignments will typically consist several multiple-choice questions and questions that require numerical answers. Typically, assignments will cover 2–3 sections from the textbook, but this will vary depending on the length and difficulty of each section included in the assignment.

These projects will apply course concepts to real-life situations and further explore topics introduced in the text. Projects will also incorporate spreadsheet tasks to further develop the student’s ability to utilize this tool to investigate mathematical questions.

Test Review Assignments are a condensed combination of the two previous homework assignments whose content is included on the test. Reviews cover no new material but provide another opportunity to recall topics and work through the types of problems that will be included in the tests.

Each test will cover the Reading & Study material for two modules/weeks: the material assigned during the test module/week and the material from the previous module/week. Tests are not cumulative. Each test will be open-book/open-notes, contain 20 multiple-choice and short answer questions, and have a 2-hour and 45-minute time limit. These tests will be completed in the ConnectMath website that is associated with the course textbook.
