Math Multiple Repeater Workshop Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Math Multiple Repeater Workshop? -The Math Workshop is a program specifically designed for students who have failed
Math 1 or Math 2 two or more times. Instead of taking the traditional Math M1 or M2
class, students enroll in a workshop. At the completion of the math workshop, the
student will take over the portion of the exam they previously failed.
Who is eligible for the workshop? -Students who took either Math M1 or M2 at least two times.
How can I sign up for the workshop? -A Math M1 or M2 request form must be filled out, which is available in L-605.
Am I guaranteed a seat once I fill out the request form? -No, seating is limited and offered on first come first serve basis.
When is the workshop offered? -The workshop is offered throughout the academic year (fall, winter, spring & summer).
Can I be enrolled in the class and a workshop at the same time? -No, once eligible for the workshop, you don t need to be in a traditional class.
The workshop substitutes your traditional class for the semester. Seats for each workshop
are limited; therefore you can only take one seat, in one workshop.
What happens after I complete my workshop hours? -The Director of the program will set you up to re-test. You take the same exit exam
as those who are enrolled in a regular Math course.
How is the workshop set up? -Students are placed in a small group setting (10 students per group).
Is attendance mandatory? -Yes, more than 2 absences will result in the student's dismissal from the program.
Your attendance is tracked weekly. It is important to stay in touch with us regarding unexpected emergencies (718-368-5118).
Do I have to pay for the workshop? -No, the workshop is free. However, you must be matriculated during the semester which
you are enrolled in the workshop.
What is ALEKS? - Assessment and Learning in Knowledge Spaces is a Web-based, artificially intelligent
assessment and learning system. ALEKS uses adaptive questioning to quickly and accurately
determine exactly what a student knows and doesn't know in a course. ALEKS then instructs
the student on the topics she is most ready to learn. Students are required to complete
a minimum of 1 hour of software use a week.
