Note: To be successful in MATH 1314, it is important that you have an adequate math background. This means you should have current knowledge of the math covered in ACC's MATD 0390 Intermediate Algebra or in High School Algebra II. To help you determine whether your math background is sufficiently strong, do the problems on the Prerequisite Review. You should be able to do at least 60% of it correctly without having to look up anything. You should be able to do at least 80% of it correctly with the use of books and notes. Also to be successful in this course, you should have at least 6 hours a week out of class to spend on the course. Many students report needing more time than that out of class. The weaker your math background, the more time you can expect to need reading and re-reading your text, looking up definitions, finding examples, contacting your instructor, working with tutors or classmates, etc.
