The MRC Method of Learning Mathematics
The flexibility of variable credit and independent study provides you an avenue for success in learning mathematics if you are self-motivated and do not procrastinate.
The Math Resource Center staff and facilities support your effort to learn mathematics skills. You follow a Study Guide that directs you to study material and work exercises from a well-written, self-explanatory textbook. The Study Guide divides each credit into two Modules. To complete a module you work assignments from a chapter or two in the text and then take a Practice Module Testfollowed by a Graded Module Test. Grades are determined by averaging Graded Module Test scores. Details are given below in sections on Testing and Grades.
After studying concepts and examples from a section of the text, you neatly work assigned homework on your own paper. We encourage you to frequently ask for assistance from tutors or view videotapes when needed. A tutor will review your homework, and then you take Module Practice andGraded Tests to assess your level of knowledge.
You strive for 80% mastery level performance on Module Tests. Retesting is possible to improve your grade and understanding. All graded tests are averaged together to determine a grade for the course credits for which you are enrolled.
Student Responsibilities and Code of Conduct
By enrolling in an independent study math course in the MRC, you agree to take the initiative to strive for success. You agree to work at your own pace, ask for assistance when needed, try to stay on schedule to meet your goal, and to treat yourself and the MRC staff with respect.
You must verify attendance during the 1st week of classes by turning in a completed 1st Week Attendance Verification Form. If you wish to drop the course and receive a full refund, you are responsible for doing this by midnight on Sunday following the 1st week of classes.
Students who are disruptive or disrespectful to staff members or fellow students may be asked to leave the MRC and may be denied access to the facility in the future. Students who use dishonest means to try to earn MRC credit may be given a failing grade and barred from future MRC enrollment.
Children are usually not permitted in the MRC. However, exceptions can be obtained with approval of the MRC director or reception counter staff member.
