Course Requirements

Students will work in a lab setting with faculty support. Students will take an initial knowledge check in the NCBM 0214  ALEKS pie, which will generate their individualized path through necessary just-in-time review topics.  Upon completion of NCBM 0214 with a C or higher (with concurrent enrollment in MATH 1314), a student will be considered TSI complete in mathematics.

Readings

The cost of ALEKS software has been included in your tuition payment.  There is no textbook to purchase.

Course Subjects

NCBM 0214 is designed to support students concurrently enrolled in MATH 1314 by providing additional focus on MATH 1314 topics and just-in-time review of prerequisite topics, as needed. Topics include review of properties of real numbers, functions, algebra of functions, inequalities, polynomials and factoring, rational expressions and equations, radical expressions and equations, quadratic functions and their graphs, solving quadratic equations, and exponential functions.

Student Learning Outcomes/Learning Objectives

Upon successful completion of this course a student will be able to:

  1. Demonstrate understanding and knowledge of properties of functions, which include evaluation, domain and range, related equations, and basic operations.
  2. Simplify, factor, and perform basic operations on algebraic expressions, including polynomials, rational and radical expressions, complex fractions, and complex numbers.
  3. Solve linear, absolute value, rational, and quadratic equations by symbolic methods, and solve linear inequalities.
  4. Appropriately use forms and formulas, including quadratic formula, vertex formula, slope-intercept form, and point-slope form.
  5. Graph linear, quadratic, absolute value, and square root functions; and graphically solve equations, including systems.
  6. Solve application problems using linear and quadratic models, direct and inverse variation, and 2x2 systems of linear equations.
