How to get ready for your math class: Given the variety of backgrounds of our students it is expected that almost all will have some gaps in the skills and understandings necessary for sucess in your course. Since it is difficult to review earlier material at the same time you are learning new algebra concepts, it is far better to prepare before the course starts. ALEKS can help you do that.
ALEKS is a software program that asseses what you know right now and then presents you with material that is specifically tailored to what you need to review for the course you are taking. If you are taking MAT220 then purchase Prep for Calculus Calculus. For more information on how to get this software, go here.
