Algebra Enhancement Project (A.E.P.) for MTH 103

In the first full week of classes, you will take an Algebra Diagnostic Test. This exam is graded pass/fail. You must score a 70/100 or above to pass and receive 50 points toward your final grade. If you receive a score less than 70/100, you will be concurrently enrolled in the AEP for MTH 103 Program through which you will be given the opportunity to earn this portion of your grade back. Any student in MTH 103 may choose to participate in the program for supplementary algebra review. If you have a Disabilities Services for Students documented accommodation, please send your paperwork to your instructor in order to receive accommodations for this test.

If you do not pass or do not take the Diagnostic Test, you will be added to the AEP for MTH 103 project. This project will be offered entirely online through the separate Sakai Project Site “AEP for MTH103 - Spring 2019” which provides five mini online lessons that afford you the opportunity to enhance your algebra skills and earn up to the full 50 points of your course grade back through five corresponding online quizzes.
