Placement Standard
See Placement Tests Procedures .
Mathematics Division Policy on Calculators
It is the policy of the mathematics division to encourage the use of graphics-type calculators by all students. The use of a graphics-type calculator is required for all courses numbered MTH 1000 and above. It is impossible to specify a particular calculator for every course. However, the TI 84 is recommended for all students taking courses numbered MTH 1000 or higher. Consult with your instructor or the division chair before purchasing any other calculator.
College Prep Courses
These courses are designed to improve students’ chances for success in college-level courses. When college readiness is not indicated by placement test scores in basic skill areas (English, mathematics, reading), college prep courses provide students with the opportunity to strengthen requisite skills. College prep courses are noncredit, but have credit equivalency for calculation of tuition, fees, financial assistance, and athletic eligibility.
Web-Hybrid Math Sections
Some math courses have sections that blend classroom instruction and online instruction. Students meet on campus once each week and complete the course instruction and activities online during the week. An additional fee is added to these web-hybrid sections.
Computer Assignments
Virtually all mathematics classes will have some, if not all, assignments that are to be completed online or using specified software. Many of these assignments can be done at home with Internet access or at a campus computer lab.
Textbooks
Many mathematics textbooks will be bundled with computer software and/or access codes for course work. It is recommended that these textbook bundles be purchased at the CSM College Store in order to avoid paying higher prices for separate purchases of textbooks and other required materials. |
