Description Section 3 Content Section 3 Content Left Section 3 Content Right Objective: The course objective is to develop mastery in math concepts and operations by means of guided, assessment-based study in the ALEKS system. Following initial assessment, students are given choice of topics for active study based on individual current readiness; as progress is made, selection of topics evolves according to developing readiness. Active mastery of new material is supported by interactive feedback, step-by-step explanations, hyperlinked dictionary definitions, and optional digital support materials. Periodic reassessments confirm mastery and ensure adequate ongoing review; students can also review spontaneously at any time. Other resources include printable worksheets and online quizzes. Real-time reporting of progress is visible to both student and instructor.
