Student Success Options in Mathematics

LBCC has designed the following courses to refresh skills prior to taking a course or accelerate students to the appropriate transfer-level mathematics course. Students should check with their academic advisor when making a decision about an appropriate mathematics pathway.

MTH 105Q Math in Society Support is a corequisite to MTH 105Z that provides just in time support for students who do not place directly into MTH 105Z. Focuses on the foundational skills and concepts needed to be persistent and successful in MTH 105Z Math in Society. Provides students with appropriate support as needed in arithmetic, algebra, problem solving, technology, and study skills in an interactive setting and allows students in a non-stem pathway to complete their college level math requirement in one term. 

MTH 111Q Precalculus I: Functions Support is a corequisite to MTH 111Z that provides just in time support for students who do not place directly into MTH 111Z. Focuses on the foundational skills and concepts needed to be persistent and successful in MTH 111Z Precalculus I: Functions.

MTH 015 Math Prep Lab is a 10-week, two-credit course for students who have perhaps been out of school a while and forgotten some math skills. Students in Math Prep Lab work at a faster pace than in other courses, with the goal of increasing their math placement by more than one class in a single term. To be successful in Math Prep Lab, a student must be motivated and must have ample time outside of class dedicated to working on the material. Students and their instructor will determine a timeline for completing work. Math Prep Lab is taught using online software to relearn forgotten math skills.
