Proposed

Catalog Description Review of algebra, linear and quadratic equations, graphs, exponents and radicals, exponential and log functions, simultaneous equations.

No credit toward graduation. Grades do not apply to student’s GPA.

Reason for change: Making the grading system consistent with two other developmental math courses by changing it to: Passing Grade/No Credit (A-C, NC), will allow the department to more effectively monitor student success. Change the course description in order to bring it in line with other department’s descriptions of developmental courses. Effective: Fall 2003
