Corequisite Developmental (DECO)

DECO-0001. Composition Support Retake. (0 Credits)

Provides an intensive study of and practice in writing processes, from invention and researching to drafting, revising, and editing, both individually and collaboratively. Emphasis on effective rhetorical choices, including audience, purpose, arrangement, and style. Focus on writing the academic essay as a vehicle for learning, communicating, and critical analysis. In addition, this course seeks to improve students' critical reading and academic writing skills through extensive integrated instruction emphasizing skills and techniques related to vocabulary, grammar, comprehension, paragraph elements, essay structure, and critical analysis.

DECO-0014. Support for Algebraic Thinking Retake. (0 Credits)

Provides an intensive study and applications of polynomial, rational, radical, exponential and logarithmic functions and systems of equations using matrices. Additional topics in this course will include sequences, series, probability and conics as well a study of relations and functions, inequalities, algebraic expressions and equations (absolute value, polynomial, radical, rational) with a special emphasis on linear and quadratic equations, integer arithmetic, problems, operations with polynomials, factoring polynomials and graphs of linear equations.
