Math Refresher Course Helps USU Students
Students who completed the Math 0920 Math Skills Review just prior to Fall Semester 2007 saved $32,250 in fees. The Math Advising Office tracked 58 students who with math placement results before and after the students attended math review workshops covering math content from Math 0900, Math 1010, Math 1050, Math 1060, as well as Math 1100, Math 1210, and Math 1220. In just 20 hours of reviewing math skills learned in prerequisite courses, 58 students saved as much as two full semesters in mathematics courses. A summary of the savings is given in the following table.
| Tuition and Fees Saved | $32,250 | |
| Average Semesters Saved | One | |
| Number of Seats Saved | 58 | |
