Preparing for College Algebra
The Learning Framework:
The MyLab Math course includes pre-made and pre-assigned homework assignments, based on the authors’ experience teaching corequisites. This Learning Framework can easily be modified based on your corequisite course’s implementation needs.
1. An Elementary Algebra Review starts off the MyLab Math course to allow mastery-based learning and personalized homework, acknowledging that students come to corequisite courses with varying backgrounds. Mastery topics are divided between arithmetic and beginning algebra.
2. Students then begin Preparing for the Chapter as they are guided through key intermediate algebra material and prepare for the subsequent College Algebra chapter. The assignments for each section are comprised of two parts:
3. Next, students move into their College Algebra homework within the same MyLab Math course or in a separate course, based on the instructor’s preference; students will only pay once.
Corequisite Support Text:
Addressing Study Skills:
Students in a corequisite course can be overwhelmed by the amount of content they have to learn, or might lack basic college success skills.

Mike Sullivan recently retired as Professor of Mathematics at Chicago State University, having taught there for more than 30 years. He received his PhD in mathematics from Illinois Institute of Technology. He is a native of Chicago’s South Side and currently resides in Oak Lawn, Illinois. Mike has four children; the two oldest have degrees in mathematics and assisted in proofing, checking examples and exercises, and writing solutions manuals for this project. His son Mike Sullivan, III co-authored the Sullivan Graphing with Data Analysis series as well as this series. Mike has authored or co-authored more than ten books. He owns a travel agency, and splits his time between a condo in Naples, Florida and a home in Oak Lawn, where Mike enjoys gardening.
Mike Sullivan, III is a professor of mathematics at Joliet Junior College. He holds graduate degrees from DePaul University in both mathematics and economics. Mike is an author or co-author on more than 20 books, including a statistics book and a developmental mathematics series. Mike is the father of three children and an avid golfer who tries to spend as much of his limited free time as possible on the golf course.
Jessica Bernards has been teaching mathematics since 2005. She began her career at the high school level and then transitioned to teaching at Portland Community College in 2010. She has taught a wide range of mathematics courses from Developmental Math up to Calculus and has created curriculum for all of these levels. Additionally, Jessica is a member of AMATYC's Project ACCCESS Cohort 9, where she developed a Math Study Skills Program which is now used across the nation. In 2017, she was the honored recipient of the Leila and Simon Peskoff AMATYC Award for her work with Project ACCCESS.
Wendy Fresh has been full-time instructor at Portland Community College since 1997 and has taught a wide range of classes from Developmental Math through Calculus, both on campus and online. Before teaching at PCC, Wendy began her teaching career in 1992, teaching high school at both rural and urban schools. Her love of creating curriculum to make the classroom come alive has led her to working with technologies that can be incorporated into her many courses. She earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Mathematics Education from the University of Oregon and her Master’s Degree in the Teaching of Mathematics from Portland State University.
