Syllabus Version for MATH120

The Level D Math Skills Assessment is a requirement for MATH120. This assessment is designed to test the prerequisite skills necessary to succeed in this course. The test will be given during one of our class meeting times from Wednesday, January 21^st through Tuesday, January 27^th.

A Blackboard account under the heading Math Assessment has been set up to provide you with the necessary Math Skills Assessment information, including your assessment grade.

Those students who earn an 84% or higher on the Math Skills Assessment will satisfy this requirement. You will then be awarded the maximum points (equal to 10% of the final course grade) toward this course component.

Those students who earn below an 84% will have up to three* additional opportunities to fulfill the Level D Math Skills Assessment requirement. Retakes will be given from Tuesday, February 3^rd through Thursday, March 19^th. The times are as follows: Tuesday and Thursday afternoons from 12:30 – 1:30 and Tuesday evenings from 5:00 – 6:00. Those students who do not earn at least an 84% after three re-takes or after the final re-take opportunity on Thursday, March 19^th will receive 0 points (equal to 10% of their final course grade) toward this course component.

*You may only retake the Math Skills Assessment once during any given week. You must complete your FIRST retake on or before Thursday, February 12^th. Those who do not retake the assessment on or before this date will only have two additional opportunities.
