Full course description





Course Overview
The College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) in partnership with the College of Professional and Continuing Education (CPCE), is offering noncredit online learning opportunities for incoming first-year students to support their successful transition to college.
Math Readiness modules help prepare those enrolled in General Chemistry I (CHM 203) with basic concepts critical to success in the course. These self-paced modules are designed and taught by CAS faculty from the departments of Mathematics and Chemistry. This jump start course complements current class offerings and helps engage and prepare students before they arrive on campus.

What is the purpose?
CAS faculty are dedicated to finding new and effective ways to help students succeed academically as they move from high school to college. The Math Readiness session will use data from the QANS placement test to help students master the mathematical concepts and skills needed for General Chemistry I (CHM 203.)
