Math Success Center's Summer and Winter Bridge Workshops
The Math Success Center is happy to announce our new PCC Math Summer and Winter Bridge Workshops!
These are a series of workshops designed for students who would like to prepare for College Algebra, Precalculus/Trigonometry, and/or first semester Calculus and is open to all PCC students.
How it works.
Over the course of two weeks, a MSC faculty member will provide free lectures and practice covering various key-concepts found in Algebra and Trigonometry; knowlwedge needed to be success full in Calclus. You will be working with other students with similar interest and goals while reviewing mathematics and building self-confidence before taking your next math class at PCC.
Below, you will be able to sign-up for our bridge workshops. You are under no obligation to attend all sessions, but we ask that you do your best to attend the sessions you signed up for.
An added benefit from attending the summer bridge is that you automatically gain the option to enroll into a late start Math 004Z course with the faculty that run the bridge program. This is part of the CAP^2 program.
