How to Get Started
After enrolling for an MRC course you must attend an Orientation Session. At the Orientation you will be given a Policies and Procedures Handout, a Study Guide, 1st Week Attendance Verification Form, and Suggested Testing Schedule. The Orientation session will last about 40 minutes. The MRC facility and method will be described. After the Orientation you are ready to begin.
Purchase the textbook described on p.1 of your Study Guide. Read p.2 of the Study Guide and follow the recommended approach for studying and test taking. Carefully and deliberately study the text, do the assigned homework, and have it checked off by a tutor. Testing and Grading are described in detail below.
During the beginning of the term you must have your 1st Week Attendance Verification Form date stamped so that you are not administratively dropped from the course for lack of attendance. Instructions about the 1st Week Attendance Verification Form are given at the Orientation session.
How to Effectively Do Homework and How Homework is Graded
Read page 2 of your Study Guide for details on how to effectively study and do your homework. There you will find information on how you receive credit for completed assignments.
For success in your math course you must carefully read and study the textbook discussion and examples. Working the margin exercises for practice before beginning the assigned homework will strengthen your skill level. Remember, learning math skills are very similar to learning any other skill…Practice is your key to improving your ability, understanding, and knowledge.
How to Prepare for and be Successful When Taking Tests
To be successful we recommend that you conscientiously follow the suggestions for test preparation and test taking found on page 2 of your Study Guide. By following these suggestions you will probably perform better than you imagined and you will retain the knowledge longer.
The Module Test, Reworks, Test Conferences, Retesting, and Bonus Points
Completing a Module: The process for evaluating your knowledge begins with evaluation of your homework by a tutor and ends with your taking a Practice Module Test and finally a Graded Module Test. Your completed module homework is evaluated at a tutor station where your homework and Study Guide will be date stamped. After completing the module’s homework you are ready for the test.
Time needed for testing and presenting identification: Allow yourself at least one hour to take a module test. Tests have 25 multiple-choice questions. You may be asked to present a photo ID at the reception counter when you check in to take a test. You must check in for testing at least one hour before the MRC closing time. Tests have no time limits. However, tests must be completed by the time the MRC closes.
Restrictions on Testing: You are not permitted to take a Module Test on the same day in which you take a practice test, have a test conference, or do a rework over the same material. Additionally, you can only retest on material from the credit you are currently trying to complete. In other words, you cannot retest on modules of previously completed credits.
