Student Group for Whom Course is Required/Intended:

Remedial studies is a program of instruction that leads to proficiency in the
Basic Skills Competencies defined by the Tennessee State Department of
Education as "Tennessee Competency Assessment Program" (TCAP). DSPM 0700 is
provided to aid students who demonstrate a need for additional academic
preparation before enrolling in college level courses. This course is open
only to students whose assessment test performance indicates a need to improve
skills in mathematics at the remedial level.

Hours earned in DSPM 0700 are add-on hours and may not be used to complete any
degree requirement. DSPM 0700 may not be taken for audit status.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GOALS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The goals of instruction of DSPM 0700 are:

1. to guide students through development and review of arithmetic skills,

2. to develop a foundation for algebra concepts,

3. to assist students in recognizing the similarities between various types of
problem situations and in applying the steps of problem solving,

4. to demonstrate to students the need for logical and analytical thinking, and

5. to reduce students' mathematics anxiety through increased competency.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
