Are your Mathematics Placement Scores not what you hoped for? Are you sure you can do better? We know you can do better, if we give you a little help. MATH PEP is a three week summer workshop designed to help you improve your Mathematics Placement Test Score.
We will use computer adaptive testing software to design a personalized review for you. The best part is that you can access this software from your home, office, school or local library provided you can install a simple (and harmless!) plug-in. The software is licensed by the ALEKS Corporation . To see if this software suits your learning style, you can go to the ALEKS website and get a FREE 48 hour license which will allow to give the software a try. The MATH PEP team here at the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee will monitor your progress and answer your questions. When you have completed the workshop, we will help you schedule a repeat of the Mathematics Placement Examination.
The mathematics courses you need to take if you have Placement Level 00 or 10 carry no credit toward graduation yet you must pay regular tuition for these courses. Depending on your situation this could cost anywhere from $450 to $600 per course or more.
For students who intend to major in engineering, computer science, physical and biological sciences and mathematics, a Placement Level of 30 is needed to begin basic coursework.
Here is the beauty of this all. The only cost to you is to buy an ALEKS license, about $32.00 from the UWM bookstore or McGraw-Hill. We'll even help you arrange purchase if you can't come down here to Milwaukee. All other costs are being borne by UWM's College of Letters and Science and College of Engineering and Applied Science . That's why we insist that you be a new UWM student!
Alas, we have a few rules.
