Presenter(s): Mark Chapman, Jack Rotman
Time: 1:30pm-2:20pm	Room: J134
Title: Math Literacy Without A Math Prerequisite
Abstract: Lansing Community College has dropped all courses below the beginning algebra level. To serve students, we are developing a variation of our Math Literacy course ... without a math prerequisite. This session will give a little background, provide tons of operational details, and even the experience of a sample lesson from this new course.

Panel: Mathematics Pathways
Abstract: This session will address: Pathways designed to accelerate students' progress from developmental mathematics to a college-level course as replacements for the traditional Pre-algebra/Beginning Algebra/Intermediate Algebra route. Courses that reflect the mathematics pathways described in the Michigan Transfer Agreement. Pathways leading to alternatives to College Algebra that are aligned to targeted programs of study.
