Everything you need to know about placing into NSC’s Foundational Math ProgramSlide2
What is this all about?
Unique program
designed to help students move into college level math and science courses as quickly as possible
without
sacrificing content and expectations
.
Material is broken down into smaller sections rather than lumped into a full 16 week semesterSlide3
Goals of Remediation
Equip students with the necessary arithmetic and algebra skills to succeed in college level math and science courses.
Provide a solid intellectual foundation of mathematical reason that can be applied to any class
Increase the level of self confidence in students when it comes to working with numbers and algebraic conceptsSlide4
How it works…
The structure of Foundational Math:
The remedial classes are broken into 6 five-week modules.
It’s easier for students to concentrate on one small block of information at a time
Each module is pass/fail and you cannot proceed to the next one without passing the current one.
At the end of each module, students are assigned new classrooms and instructors, depending on if they pass/fail. (time of the class will not change)
Students take up to 3 modules per semester.

Module 6Slide5
Enrolling for Classes and Grades
You enroll in classes based on the module at the beginning of the semester.
You will earn an A for the class when you complete the course.
If you start in modules 1, 3 or 5, you must pass two modules during the semester.
If you start in modules 2, 4, or 6, you must pass one module during the semester.
If you fail to accomplish this during the semester, you will receive an F.
Completed modules from past semesters carry forward into the new semester, regardless of your grade.Slide6
So…let’s see how it works
Sample student A:
So the work the student did in Module 3 – applies to Math 095 in the next semester. That student would start in Module 4!
