What is the purpose of math assessment?

The purpose of math assessment is to recommend a math class that is neither too difficult nor too easy for you. The Math Department is particularly concerned that you do not waste a semester by selecting a class that exceeds your preparation.

What determines success in math?

The Math Department believes that the single most important success factor is your current skill level which is measured by math assessment. However, since the department also recognizes the importance of study skills, the allowance of time for homework, previous math grades, the length of time elapsed since the completion of your last math class, completion of course pre-requisites, and personal motivation, these will also be considered in the recommendation.
