Prepare for First-Year Math Courses With This Free Resource
Prepare for First-Year Math Courses with this Free Resource
If you're a student who is entering first-year University or College this fall, you may be starting to feel nervous about your first-year math classes. Math professors will assume that you have your high school math down pat and at your fingertips. But you may not.
You closed your books in June(or January!) and haven’t solved a quadratic equation or found the hypotenuse of a right triangle or sin(30°) since forever! Your basic math skills and knowledge are surrounded by neural cobwebs.
But don't sweat it, that's totally normal! That's exactly why the Math Post-Secondary Preparedness Course was created.
And the best part is, it's free!
So, What is it?
A FREE resource to help you be fully prepared to succeed in your first-year courses, whether math courses or courses that rely heavily on math such as chemistry and physics.
- 11 problem sets (mostly 5 to 10 types of problems in each)
- Examples from grade 8 math to calculus
- Full solutions
- Notes and common errors to be wary of for each example
- Additional practice questions(with answers of course)
This resource was created by University professors Jack Weiner and Hosh Pesotan who have a combined 65 years of experience teaching math at the University of Guelph! With the help of mathematics and physics teacher, Sarah Stubbs and CEO and Founder of HigherEdPoints, Suzanne Tyson the Math Preparedness Package was first released in 2009.
With the school closures in March 2020, and the scramble to online caused by Covid-19, ratemyprof legend and veteran math Professor Jack Weiner knew this resource would be more relevant than ever. The package has now been updated and brought online to Wize's interactive online platform.
How to Use it
Start working through the package four to eight weeks before you plan to return to school so that you hit the ground running, mathematically, right from the outset.
When that first crucial week of classes arrives, you will NOT get stuck in class on new math or physics or chemistry or... because the prof assumed and went too fast through some fuzzy high school math.
Once you begin your first year, whether online or on-campus, you will have between 18 and 30 hours of classes and labs, lots of challenging homework and assignments, tests almost immediately, plus new life skills to learn.
You won’t have time for the PreparednessPackage. So, what are you waiting for? Begin using the course now by clicking here.
You've got this!
