Description

Objective:

The course objective is to develop mastery of math concepts and operations using guided, assessment-based study in the ALEKS system. Following an initial assessment, students are given the choice of topics for active study based on individual current readiness; as progress is made, the selection of topics evolves according to developing readiness. Interactive feedback, step-by-step explanations, and hyperlinked dictionary definitions support active mastery of new material. Periodic reassessments confirm mastery and ensure adequate ongoing review; students can also review spontaneously. Real-time reporting of progress is visible to students.

Learning Outcomes:

Solve and graph linear equations and inequalities with precision.
Master factoring and performing operations on polynomials.
Perform operations on rational expressions and solve rational equations effectively.
Execute operations with positive and negative exponents confidently.
Handle operations on radical expressions and solve radical equations proficiently.
Understand, graph, and perform operations on functions and their graphs.
Solve and graph quadratic equations accurately.
Apply unit circle and right-angle trigonometry concepts.
Graph trigonometric functions, find values, and perform operations on trigonometric functions and their inverses.
Prove trigonometric identities and solve trigonometric equations and triangles.
Execute operations with vectors, polar coordinates, and complex numbers adeptly.
