Mathematical Literacy for College Students Course Description
This course integrates numeracy, proportional reasoning, algebraic reasoning and understanding of functions. Students will develop conceptual and procedural tools that support the use of the key mathematical concepts in a variety of contexts.
This course prepares students requiring Learning Support (or otherwise advised to refresh their Mathematical Literacy) to take MATH 1001 (Quantitative Skills and Reasoning.)
MLCS 0099 is not intended to prepare students for MATH 1111. Students needing MATH 1111 are advised to enroll in MATH 0097 or MATH 0099 as placement tests indicate.
MLCS 0099 is a four hour course with no pre-requisites. READ 0099 is co-requisite if required by placement.
Additional notes:
MLCS 0099 provides institutional credit only. A letter grade of C or better is required in MLCS 0099 in order for the student to proceed to MATH 1001. Students have three consecutive semesters to successfully complete MLCS 0099 and MATH 1001, at which time the student’s Math Learning Support will be satisfied without further exit testing, as long as the student remains in a major not requiring College Algebra.
Should the student change to a major requiring MATH 1111, the student must satisfy the requirements to enter that course (Compass Test) and enter the regular College Algebra sequence at the appropriate place.
