Subject: [UPAC] FAQs for math, 100, 100AX, orientation, S4S

 

Hi,

There are no major changes to math placement or test scores for Fall 2013.
I have attached some Math 100AX and 100 FAQs, as well as FAQs about testing
and placement.  

Math 100 and 100AX are NOT ONLINE. Please read the attached information to
find out
more about the format of these courses.  Feel free to distribute the Math
100AX
and 100 FAQ documents to students. We will also have copies available at
orientation
Math advising in the Ventana room, 11-1.  

We are going green this summer and greatly reducing the number of handouts
given to students.  All the information students need can be accessed
through the Math Placement link of the Next Steps Center, which is also
included in the Quick Guide to Placement.  Students can find out about 
retesting, review, ProctorU testing, transfer credit, and other great 
information(math.arizona.edu/placement/freshman).

If a student tests prior to arriving at orientation, the score will be
processed
in time to add appropriate math courses to the student's schedule at
orientation.

We have many dynamically dated courses that do not start on the first day of
class, or
that end early. These courses include Math 122A, 122B, 100AX, 100, and 111.
Students
need to check the start and end dates in UAccess.  

The Schedule for Success presentation is also attached. Please review this
before orientation. There are some minor changes to the program. In short:
- Students are enrolled in both Math 100AX and SAS 100AX (same as last
year). 
- SAS 100AX is the first 7 weeks of the semester. Students will do many
things
in this class, including getting introduced to ALEKS, work in ALEKS, and
start
using the technology required for Math 100AX. Students will take an ALEKS
assessment
around the 6th week of this class to determine if the student will remain in
Math 100AX
or switch up to Math 100.
- Math 100AX starts October 14 and will be similar in format to last year.  
- We will have special sections of Math 100 that will  start October 14 
 for Schedule for Success students who are able to switch up. The exact 
criteria has not yet been set.
-Check out the Schedule for Success website at
http://scheduleforsuccess.arizona.edu .
