 What math course is right for you? Math 141 and beyond STEM Pathways. So traditionally you're highlighting the majority of students, specifically in Mesa, really into engineering. So mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer science. And then we have biology students and nursing students as well. Why did you take Math 141? I'm taking this class because I need it to get the math classes that I need for my privates. I took Math 141 because it's a pre-class that I have to take for the Calculus series. I am in Math 141 currently and it's also called Pre-Calculus 1. It's a requirement to get into a Calculus class which is required for my degree. Right now I'm going the pre-med route so I'm looking at getting my A degree in biology for now and I'm a running start student so I don't really know what major I want to happen to yet but I think I'm looking at going for a major in biology. What advice would you give to students taking Math 141? To be a successful student it's really about practice, practice, practice. Being open-minded and not afraid to ask questions and challenge yourself and also to build those relationships with other STEM students that have the same goals and aspirations as that student has. The advice I would give is coming to NISA workshops and going to the Math Tutor Center and just going on WebAssign and just doing your homework and making sure you come every day. I think that's very helpful and also using the study plan on WebAssign I think that helps me a lot too and just practicing. I think Math is just you just have to master that and then you're good to go. The advice that I would give is read the book especially because you get a lot of questions from it and then ask a lot of questions in class especially and go to the Math Center and connect with the tutors. Don't ever be afraid to ask the instructor questions especially like if they're in the middle of doing a procedure and there's a certain step that you may not understand. Just raise your hand and ask them to explain a little bit more in something. Another really good resource is to definitely go to the tutoring centers. I know for me when I was starting with the pre-calculus and calculus track I was really really nervous because Math is not really my strong suit and so I was nervous about the pace, whether or not I would be able to keep up whether or not I would be able to understand what's going on in my classes but the biggest advice I would give is to not be nervous about it just go in with confidence, go in with that idea that you're going to work really hard and put yourself in that position to be successful.
