Math Instructional Support QEP

In support of the Indian River State College Mission to promote student success by offering high-quality, affordable and accessible education, IRSC has developed a Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) titled Math At the Root of Success (MARS). The purpose of the QEP (MARS) is to create an institution-wide initiative that is committed to improving student learning and success through the course redesign of Intermediate Algebra (MAT 1033) and the development of Quantitative Reasoning (MAT1100).

MAT 1033 Delivery Options

Class meets in a MARS lab with an instructor and a tutor. The SE2 format meets for two hours, twice a week. The SE4 format meets for one hour, four days a week.

Students are expected to watch a short video and complete an assignment before each class. The class meets in a MARS lab with an instructor and a tutor.

This class meets in a MARS lab with an instructor and a tutor. Classes have some lecture and some computer time.

This is a fully online delivery option. Students progress to the next assignments after demonstrating mastery on prior assignments.

MARS (Math At the Root of Success) Computer Lab

The MARS lab is the physical location of the computer lab in the SE Model where students will go after their focus hour. There is a MARS lab on every campus.

MARS Group

Students and faculty are invited to join the MARS group hosted on RiverLife. Here you will find events, news and student testimonial videos.
