Solving Systems Graphically

I. COURSE DESCRIPTION

A developmental course covering second year algebra.

II. PREQUSITES

Successful completion of MATH 3 or appropriate score on the placement test. Students will not be allowed in the course without the required prequisites.

III. INTRODUCTION

This course is designed to introduce and develop basic algebraic concepts and skills listed
in the outline below. A student must have an 80% average to complete the course successfully and receive a grade of "S" - satisfactory, otherwise the student will receive a grade of "R" - reenroll, or "U" - unsatisfactory and have to repeat the course.
