Javelina Algebra Lab

How JavALab Courses Work

These courses take advantage of an advanced technology adapted to learning mathematics:
Assessment and LEarning in Knowledge Spaces, or ALEKS.  Students take an initial assessment
the first day of class that determines the mathematical objectives they have already mastered,
and sets up the objectives they will master during the course to fill their learning “pie.”  Students
commit at least three hours each week in the Javelina Algebra Lab (JavALab) and additional
hours outside the lab practicing in the Learning Mode. This adds pieces to the learning “pie.”
Students also meet as a class once a week for 50 minutes.  During this time instructors review
as a class, or individually, those topics with which students need help or further understanding.
For every 20 objectives students complete, or after each ten hours of time in ALEKS, students
take an automatic ALEKS Assessment.  Assessments ensure mastery of the objectives and must
be taken in the JavALab. 

Grading In JavALab Courses

There are a total of 184 objectives which cover all three courses.  Grading is based on completion
and mastery of the required number of objectives outlined below for each course.

ALGE 0300	Completed Learning (Pie) Objectives	Mastered Assessment Objectives
A	120	105
B	100	85
C	90	75
D	75	60
F	<75	<60

ALGE 0301	Completed Learning (Pie) Objectives	Mastered Assessment Objectives
A	155	140
B	135	120
C	120	105
D	100	85
F	<100	<85

MATH 1314	Completed Learning (Pie) Objectives	Mastered Assessment Objectives
A	175	160
B	160	145
C	145	130
D	125	110
F	<125	<110
