Faculty/Division: Faculty of Arts and Science

Department: Woodsworth College

Campus: St. George (Downtown Toronto)

Background: Woodsworth College is committed to promoting accessibility and equity, and our core mission is to provide "the best educational experience for a diverse student body." The Millie Rotman Shime Academic Bridging Program is an access program offered by Woodsworth College that provides opportunity for students who do not meet the academic requirements for admission to the University of Toronto to qualify for admission to an Honours Bachelor of Arts (HBA) or Honours Bachelor of Science (HBSc) degree program in the Faculty of Arts & Science.

The program is designed for mature learners, and bridges the gap between prior formal education and the skills necessary for first-year university courses. As a low-barrier program for learners who have been away from studies for two or more years, classes are rich with diversity and life experience.

Course description: This course focuses on mathematical concepts and skills needed for success in First Year university Math and Science courses. Students will develop quantitative reasoning abilities required to critique arguments and make decisions, and will gain a deep understanding of functions modeling relationships. The course highlights multiple representations of each topic, emphasizing connections, and workshop-style sessions enable students to strengthen the skills they learn.

Open only to Academic Bridging Program students. Not eligible for CR/NCR option.

Estimated course enrolment: 30 students

Tuesdays 11:00am-1:00pm and Thursdays 11:00am-12:00pm
