  • Student Information Form (Please print it out, complete it and turn it in to me at the end of class Monday, July 17th): Student_Information_College_Level
  • MAC tutoring: The Math Achievement Center (MAC) is an open Math tutoring lab located in Winship 110. Tutors are available for all math classes provided at LSC-NH and the MAC provides access to various forms of technology to support student learning and success. Students can check out laptops for use in the MAC to complete math assignments and have access to interactive projectors and desk top computers with all the software used in their math classes. Students are encouraged to use the MAC to visit with a tutor, meet with a group in one of the study rooms, or review with an instructor in the conference room.

Useful Videos and Links

Website to review basic algebra

Useful examples for sections 2.1 through 2.4: 

Note: I think these are very useful videos; however, nothing is perfect and there could possibly be some errors/mistakes that go unnoticed. If you run into something that doesn't make sense, ask me. Always watch the videos with a critical thinking mindset, always questions every step in the solution, pay careful attention to small details. Is it logical? Is the formula applied appropriately and correctly? Is there an easier way to solve the problem? What is the difference between various examples?
