MATH 0140 - Introduction to Statistics Corequisite
Credits: 2
Catalog Description
This course provides instruction and support to help students succeed in MATH 1114 (Introduction to Statistics). The focus of the course is reviewing fundamental arithmetic and algebraic processes, then appropriately applying those processes in a problem-solving environment. Emphasis is placed on the skills needed to achieve the learning outcomes for MATH 1114 . Use of graphing technology, such as the TI-84, is required (see instructor for acceptable models or software). All students registered for MATH 0140 must be concurrently enrolled in a section of MATH 1114 .
Prerequisite(s) (must have a grade of C or better): MATH 0080 (or equivalent course) with a passing grade, or appropriate score on the math placement test.
Corequisite(s): MATH 1114
Recommended Skills, Abilities, or Coursework:
- This course is designed for students who have good arithmetic skills and have had some high school algebra.
- Consider English, Reading, and English Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) measures that indicate students are likely to succeed in college level mathematics with corequisites. Students who need corequisite support in both English and mathematics should complete their developmental/corequisite reading and writing course(s) before taking their gateway math course with corequisite support.
Additional fee to student: No
