Developmental Math

About Developmental Math

1. Developmental math classes are numbered beginning with a 0: Math 091, 093, 095, 096. These classes lead into higher math classes. Therefore, it is important for students to have a solid understanding of the content of developmental math courses before proceeding to the next math course.
   
   Additionally, developmental math courses grades are "A", "B", "C", or "W". No grades of "D" or "F" are except by written request on the day of the final exam. Students must meet all attendance requirements as specified in their instructor's syllabus in order to be eligible to request a "D" or "F". Generally, developmental math classes are stepping stones for subsequent classes.
2. Additional help for math classes is available in small groups and on an individual basis at The SOURCE in Vista B106 on the TMCC Dandini Campus. Call the SOURCE at 775-674-7517 for details.
3. Whenever a student has a problem in a class, talk to the instructor first. This includes being confused, frustrated or lost in class. Ask your instructor for assistance outside of class time.
