Lower-Division Courses

        This course is intended to provide corequisite support for students requiring remediation in

mathematics while they are concurrently enrolled in STAT 2625 (Statistical Literacy and Critical Reasoning). Emphasis will be placed on prerequisite skills needed for statistics as well as just in time review through the use of appropriate technology. Does not count toward a degree. 1 - 3 s.h.

Prereq.: Concurrent enrollment in STAT 2625. (syllabus)
