Spring 2026 M 021/121Q: College Algebra with Corequisite Support

Abstract

This packet is based on the M121Q College Algebra Structured Notes Workbook created by Dr. Heidi Staebler with extensive support by Dr. Megan Wickstrom. It was expanded and adapted for M021 by Katie Ivester, Dr. Kim Nordby, Casey Clark, and Rich Rehberger.

This structured note packet / workbook is designed to be used for in-class instruction by instructors with a wide variety of experience levels in a College Algebra course that prepares students for 4 credit hour Precalculus and Survey of Calculus courses. It includes topics that are found in OER Intermediate Algebra and College Algebra texts and is designed to promote instruction that strikes a balance between promoting foundational skills, conceptual understanding, connections between ideas / representations, applications and modeling.
