Portland Community College | Portland, Oregon

I'm excited you are considering my course. It is a Pass/No Pass course and it is designed to support you in one or more of the following ways:

• Prepare for a math class you want/need to take in the future.
• Prepare for a math placement test.
• Reinforce or increase your current math skills.

During class sessions you will be:

• Working in our online learning platform, ALEKS. This technology will identify and help you fill in your math gaps.
• Participating in individual student/instructor meetings where we can touch base and where I will work to support your current math learning, course, and/or your future math path. 
• Participating in additional class work as assigned. This may include lectures, group work, individual practice, visits to campus resources, etc.

Please take a look at a sample syllabus that may be a useful reference for you: Sample ALC/ALM Syllabus

I hope to see you in class this coming term!

We will work on computers on campus for all class learning time. For any outside of class learning each student should have access to the following items:  

• A device with reliable internet access, video, and microphone.
• Chrome is the preferred internet browser
• The ability to download and use Zoom.
• The ability to use ALEKS (an adaptive math software program we will be using).
• Scanning or picture taking program or app may be helpful. I recommend the free app AdobeScan.
