Your Prerequisite Review score (number right): _______
| Score | Advice |
| 12-15 | College Algebra appears to be appropriate for you. It will, however, require that you set aside at least 8 hours of time outside the classroom per week to prepare for lessons and do the required homework. If difficulties arise, you may need to seek extra help from me or tutors in the Learning Lab. |
| 0-11 | College Algebra appears to be inappropriate for you at this time. You should receive advising by me or the Math Office (2221) in order to remain in this course. I strongly recommend that you follow the Alternate Plan. |
Alternate plan: Take or re-take Intermediate Algebra (MATD 0390) (if College Algebra is a strict requirement for your degree program), or take one of the other college-level mathematics offerings (if College Algebra is not a requirement). See the attached handout Alternatives to College Algebra. Although you may consider retaking Intermediate Algebra to be a waste of time, it will save you time in the long run, because it will prepare you for a fulfilling, rather than a frustrating (and possibly failing) experience with College Algebra.
Please follow the directions given in the ACC Course Schedule, which describes how to make changes by telephone through a certain date. If you wish to make a change after that date, please take the form Instructor Recommendation for Student to Change MATD or MATH Courses (obtainable from me) to the Math Office (2221) to request a different course.
Sincerely,
Dr. Owens
