COMPUTER LAB (S304)

The new computer lab for Developmental Mathemtics was made available through a National Science Foundation grant and the support of the college. Review Mathematics is taught both in the new computer lab and in the adjacent classroom area.    The course is self-paced, so that a student proceeds to review mathematics at a pace and methodology suitable for that student.  The course is taught by an instructor who guides the student through the material, using the computer software, the text, and videos.

*Our new lab is really a classroom.

*Credits to Norman J. McCullough of Media Services for taking pictures for us.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The instructor continually checks on the progress of the students and helps with math concepts and problems.

 
 
 
 
 
 

Some classes have faculty/student tutors assigned to the class, who also help students if they have questions.

Students may discuss a math problem with each other.

*The computer software is one of the main instructional tools used in the classroom.

*The software is interactive because the student must respond to the various parts of a problem; the student then gets feedback regarding his/her response.

Students take notes during the demonstration, tutorial, and practice problem parts of the software.

 

I hope you have enjoyed this brief tour of our new computer lab.  Currently, Bob Brown is Coordinator of Developmental Mathematics, Math081/082/083.  You may send email to  Bob Brown, Developmental Mathematics.
