4 Justification Most students in College Algebra (MATH 1000) and Pre-Calculus Algebra (MATH 1120) courses fall into the following six categories: 1. New students who scored low on the Mathematics Placement Exam. 2. Students who are completing the basic Core Curriculum Requirement in Mathematics. 3. Students who have not taken Mathematics courses for several years. 4. Students who want to boost their GPAs. 5. Students who are intimidated by Mathematics. 6. Students who have busy out of class responsibilities and need flexibility in scheduling classes. Students may do well in large lecture classes where the method of instruction is primarily note-taking, but Mathematics requires participation. Whether students ask questions of the instructor, or instructors anticipate problems and ask questions of the students, this interaction is essential and can hardly be accomplished in a large lecture class. To this aim we propose a hybrid online course where students can learn the material online, but also have one-on-one tutoring for hours per week depending upon the demand. We have run this program as a pilot project since Summer 2003 and have found it to be very successful and appreciated by the students. See the attached sample syllabus for the details of this program.
