New Remedial Math Courses to replace 010, 011, and 099 (MATH 015 and 035)

ISU is partnering with Ivy Tech for the instruction of remedial math courses beginning in fall, 2012.  The courses will be offered on ISU’s campus but will be instructed by faculty employed by Ivy Tech.  This should be a seamless process for students.  However, there are a few changes that advisors should know about during priority registration.

• The course numbers and names will change.  Remedial math courses will be MATH 015 and MATH 035 and will each be 5-credit courses.  MATH 015 will cover what used to be MATH 010 and 011, and MATH 035 will cover what used to be MATH 099.

• Each course will meet for 3 hours per week (e.g., MWF 10-10:50 or TR 9:30-10:45), and students will be expected to attend an additional 3 hours per week of supervised lab time.

• MATH 015 & 035 are not yet on the fall schedule of classes but should be by the middle of April.  As advisors meet with students during the next month, please advise students to “save” time on their schedule for these courses if needed.  There will be sections offered that span the full week.

• The Registrar’s Office is working to ensure a smooth process for this transition in terms of these new courses meeting pre-reqs for other math courses.

• These are ISU course numbers and ISU courses.

• Grade appeals will go through ISU grade-appeals process.

• Since these courses are remedial, they do not count towards graduation.

• They are still working out details regarding space, but currently they are looking at space on the first floor of the “old” College of Business for the math lab and for instructors’ offices.

• The course repeat issue is being worked out by the Registrar’s Office.

• We will continue to use the MAPLE-TA

*these are current cut-offs. We will re-assess the appropriateness of these based on data from the fall 2012 semester.
