MAT-012 ACCELERATED BASIC MATHEMATICS
INSTRUCTOR: ________________________________ OFFICE _________________________
EMAIL: ______________________________________ PHONE: _________________________
COURSE Basic Mathematics is a study of the fundamental operations of arithmetic, intended
DESCRIPTION: for students whose placement examination indicates a need for a review of arithmetic
skills. Topics include computation with and ap plications using whole numbers,
fractions, decimals, ratios, percents, and integers.
The course goal is to facilitate the students’ insight into the structure of the number
system, acquisition of the computational skills needed in working with various types
of numbers, and proficiency in solving verbal problems and real life applications.
MAT-012 is an accelerated computer assisted class designed to provide the
necessary reinforcement needed to complete the Basic Mathematic requirements.
CREDITS/HOURS: 1 credit (non-degree) 1 hour computer lab
STUDENT Upon successful completion of this course the student will be able to:
LEARNING
OUTCOMES: 1. Compute with whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and integers;
2. Apply the rules of order of operations to simplify numerical expressions;
3. Demonstrate the use of ratios, proportions, and percents;
4. Calculate the perimeter and area of rectangular figures;
5. Calculate the mean of a set of numbers;
6. Demonstrate the use of estimation skills to judge the reasonableness of a result;
7. Solve application problems.
ASSESSMENT In order to pass MAT-012, students must:
MEASURES: 1. complete the MyMathTest pre-test, study plans
2. receive 80% mastery on each section post test
3. not exceed the one absence limit
4. complete the course within 7 weeks
5. achieve a passing grade on the final.
MATERIALS: MyMathTest, “Individualized Software Program”, Pearson Publishers
COURSE Students MUST work on the MyMathTest program during their MAT-012 class.
REQUIREMENTS: Students MUST put in at least 45 minutes of “in college” lab time and 30 minutes of
“at home” lab time for each class.
COURSE GRADE: Grades will be administered as a result of their grade on the final.

ELECTRONIC The Department of Mathematics prohibits the use of cell-phones, PDA’s,
DEVICES: laptops, headphones, IPODs and other such devices in mathematics classes unless
otherwise specified by the grading policy provided by the instructor at the beginning
of the semester.
BCC Attendance Policy:
All students are expected to attend punctually every scheduled meeting of each course in which they are registered.
Attendance and lateness policies and sanctions are to be determined by the instructor for each section of each course.
These will be established in writing on the individual course outline. Attendance will be kept by the instructor for
administrative and counseling purposes.
Developmental Mathematics Department Attendance Policy:
A student who exceeds the allowable number of absence total of more than one, and does NOT make up the missed
lab, may be given an “E" grade. Students absent more than 1 time may make up the missed class by doing at least 1
hour of the MyMathLab program in the Math Walk-In Center, A-113.
*Two late arrivals or two early departures will equal one absence.
