A New Way to Take Math!

A New Way to Take Math!

Housatonic Computer Lab Information

Self-Paced Studies

  • Do you feel comfortable with computers?
  • Are you self-motivated?
  • Do you ever walk out of your math class thinking the teacher is going way too FAST or too S-L-O-W?
  • Do you feel you just need a math refresher?
  • Do you struggle with fractions, percents and decimals?

If you answered YES to three or more of these questions, this is the right MATH CLASS for you!

Self-Paced Studies
... WHAT IS IT? 

  • A computer-based course that allows you to progress at your own pace.
  • In-class tests are given when YOU are ready, NOT when the "class" is ready.
  • Courses may be completed in LESS than one semester.
  • If you need more than one semester to complete the course, registration will be required each semester.
  • Self-Paced Studies teaches you mathematics in a step-by-step manner.
  • Instructors will facilitate, not lecture and will be available in the classroom to help answer questions.
  • At least one class period will be devoted to computer training.

HCC Self-Paced Studies Math Class Information

  • Classes are scheduled at several different times for your convenience.
  • In addition to scheduled class time, each week you are required to work on the Internet either at home or in HCC'S computer labs.

How Do I sign up?

  • 80% proficiency must be achieved to progress through the course.
  • Each class is limited to 20 students.
  • At-home Internet access is desirable but not necessary.
  • Personal headphones will be used in every class. Please bring your own.

Course Number Conversion

 In 2004 the Connecticut Community Colleges converted to the new "Common Course Numbering" system.

You can use the chart below to find conversion equivalents to previous course numbers.
