This course is intended for students who desire to strengthen study skills, problem-solving abilities, and previously learned mathematical skills. As part of this course, students participate in activities designed to strengthen critical thinking skills and skills to support success in the college learning environment. This course also reshapes students’ math attitudes, develops study skills, addresses math and test anxiety, and fosters productive persistence, reflection, and self-efficacy. This course provides a structured setting for students to refresh and review math skills in order to improve their math placement by utilizing ALEKS PPL Learning Modules. This course requires students to use online software for working on the learning modules. Having internet access outside of class is necessary since some homework will be completed in an online learning system (ALEKS).
