Free online math refresher course available at Utah Valley University

For the third year in a row, Utah Valley University is offering a free online math refresher course. 

For the third year in a row, Utah Valley University is offering a free online math refresher course.

Registration is now open for the seven-week course on canvas.net. The course runs June 8-July 28.

The course is designed primarily for students who will be starting or restarting college within a year, and for current college students who have not finished their math requirement.

Incoming college students are placed in math courses based on a placement exam, with the number of required courses depending on the exam score. Preparation for placement exams can mean higher scores and fewer math courses in college.

The course is also intended for anyone who simply wants to refresh math skills, or who would like to study for a different exam, such as the GRE.

Course content focuses primarily on algebra and arithmetic, and aligns with many standard exams, such as college math placement exams.

The course is organized into five modules — one focused on arithmetic, three focused on algebra, and one on trigonometry — with one optional statistics module.

Students can proceed through the course at their own pace, as coursework is available throughout the year, and have access this summer to chat rooms, discussion boards, and assistance from associate professor in developmental math Keith White and two peer mentors.
