Procedures for Developmental Corequisite Classes (Math 0232, 0242, 0314, 0324)

1. All developmental corequisite courses (Math 0232, 0242, 0314 and 0324) linked to credit level courses (Math 1332, 1342, 1314 and 1324 respectively) should include a final exam that is worth a minimum of 15% of the course grade. Try to avoid having any assessment that is weighted too heavily. The final exam will be developed by the instructor and it should cover a broad range of topics from the course. The goal of this final exam is to determine whether a student is ready to be enrolled in a stand-alone section of the credit level course.
    
2. All corequisite courses (Math 0232, 0242, 0314 and 0324) should have at least 50% of the course grade coming from proctored assignments. This refers to completion of instructor monitored assessments (quizzes, chapter exams, final exams, etc.) where the student does not have access to assistance from a source outside of themselves.
    
3. Instructors who are teaching both sections of a linked corequisite pair have the ability to vary the order that they choose to cover the topics and learning outcomes of both the corequisite course and the college level course. When planning the order of any curriculum, please keep in mind that students in corequisite courses will need a thoughtful introduction and progression throughout the material.
    
4. Since we need to administer just-in-time support in corequisite courses, instructors who are teaching only one section of a linked corequisite pair will need to adhere as closely as possible to the proposed schedule for that particular course. To locate these schedules, return to the Resources for Instructors page and choose the Course Information page for either the corequisite support course or the credit level course in the pair. (Math 0232 is paired with Math 1332. Math 0242 is paired with Math 1342. Math 0314 is paired with Math 1314. Math 0324 is paired with Math 1324.)
    
5. We also strongly encourage instructors of a linked pair to reach out to each other and communicate any information, questions, or changes that they feel might contribute to the success of the students. Balancing the need for coordination, we want instructors to have as much academic freedom as possible within these guidelines. Instructors in linked courses are encouraged to collaborate but each maintains his or her autonomy
