Text Julie Miller, College Algebra

The Math 2 course will be taught as a flipped course. Students will be asked to watch a lecture

video on the topics prior to coming to each lecture. A quick check in with their initial

understanding of the concepts will take place in the beginning of each lecture and the lecture content delivery will be adjusted accordingly. Students will learn concepts in an interactive learning environment during lecture. Sections will be organized in collaborative learning setting while students work on worksheets. Homework for the class will be done on line.
