ALEKS • Required of all incoming CNS students • Creating baseline of preparedness • Assessment, unlimited access to ALEKS Learning Modules, and support: • Sunday – Thursday, 2 - 10pm • Videos • Skype • Facebook • Phone • E-mail
ALEKS Math • 80% = Math 408C Differential and Integral Calculus • 70% = Math 408N Differential Calculus • 55% = Math 305G Elem Functions & Coordinate Geometry-CNS • <55% = Math 310T Foundations of Mathematics • 30% = Math 316 Elementary Statistical Methods (and other stats courses)
ALEKS Results Aggregate Score: 87 Numbers: 100 Equations: 96 Functions: 91 Polynomials: 91 Rational Expressions: 90 Radicals: 100 Logarithms: 64 Trigonometry: 69 Student Profile Class Rank: 16 of 644 AP: Calculus & Physics SAT: 1570 Math: 800
ALEKS Chemistry • Take in mid-July after Aleks Math • Allows time for 6-week learning modules • Students taking CH their first semester • Fall 2010 first offering so no data available
CS Preparation • Placement test offered this summer • 11 out of 31 have passed • CS 305J • Course for students with little to no background in programming
CS 307 Preparedness • variables and data types • expressions, order of operations • decision making– if statements, including boolean logic and boolean expressions • loops (fixed and variable repetition) • procedures or functions • structures or records or objects • parameters (reference and value parameters, local variables, scope, problem generalization) • arrays (vectors, lists) • top down design (breaking big rocks into little rocks) • algorithm and data design • create and implement program of at least 200 - 300 lines of code, with 4 to 8 functions / methods / sub routines / procedures
Dual/Transfer Credit • MUST request transcript be sent to UT. • Grade received will NOT apply to UT GPA. • Professional schools WILL count your dual credit courses in your GPA. • Use Automated Transfer Equivalency (ATE) to determine transferability prior to enrolling in course.
Claiming AP Credit • Not all AP credit will apply to every major (i.e. PHY, STA, EDP) • Talk to Rob or Jenn prior to claiming AP credit. • May affect your application to professional schools. • May affect tuition rebate.
