MATH 196CXL: PRECALC I EXTD-LAB

California State University, Northridge

Corequisite: MATH 102. Open to all students enrolled in MATH 102. Students entering CSUN in need of prerequisite support in mathematics may enroll in MATH 196CXL instead of MATH 102L and MATH 091C. This extended lab course covers concepts and applications of pre-calculus topics. The active learning approach to problem solving practiced in this course enhances the lecture experience, strengthens the general academic skills necessary for post-secondary study, and provides prerequisite knowledge for success in MATH 102 and subsequent courses in the calculus sequence. Direct instruction builds students¿ sense of academic belonging, understanding of the study cycle, and persistence through productive struggle. The hybrid lab environment allows students to both work at their own pace and receive small-group instruction with the laboratory instructor on the prerequisite topics as well as the MATH 102 material. 6 hours lab per week.
