发展性教育为学生准备大学水平的阅读, writing, 数学和英语语言课. Full-and part-time students take a placement test before registering for developmental classes.
Classes are offered in a traditional classroom, online or hybrid class that combines the two formats. Developmental courses are fee-based credit courses that appear on your transcript. However, they do not count toward your GPA and degree or certificate requirements. 我们采用以掌握为基础的学习系统，以确保我们的学生成功.
Testing
Some developmental classes have students take a pre-test during their first class. This is to make sure students are placed correctly and does not count toward your grade. 将预试成绩与期末考试成绩进行比较，以评估课程.
发展教育课程
You may not need to take the placement test for English composition courses if you have completed college-level English courses with a "C" or higher, 或ACT英语和阅读成绩达到20分或以上.
被分到阅读-041班的学生, Reading-071 or Reading-091 must enroll in that course during their first semester and continue until Reading-091 is complete.
Students can test out of any of the seven levels or our developmental math courses. You can advance to the next class with an appropriate test score and teacher recommendation.
Three levels of speech, grammar and writing are designed for non-native English speakers. 地区居民和国际学生可以报名. Potential students can contact the Multicultural Student Affairs Office in Room S201 or by phone at (708) 974-5475. The placement-ESL test is required for placement in the Intensive English Language Program.
学习学习
学习学习 is used within Moraine Valley’s developmental education classes.
Students demonstrate mastery for a unit by completing a series of assignments related to the unit being studied. Students must achieve a benchmark score (90 percent) on each homework assignment before continuing to the next assignment. 一旦学生掌握了该单元的所有作业, 这个学生被认为掌握了这个题目. 然后每一章都有一个练习测试, which must be passed with an 80 percent score and an exam which must be passed with a 70 percent score. A student who is unsuccessful on any assessment will be required to review the concepts that were deficient and then retake the assessment.
The faculty member’s role is quite different from that of a “traditional” classroom. 以掌握为基础的学习模式, it is possible for students to be working on different units at the same time in the class. 老师将单独会见班上的每个学生, 讨论个人作业的进度. 在个别会议之后, the instructor will be responsible for answering student questions as they are needed during the class session. 如果一群学生出现在同一个区域, the instructor may hold a small-group discussion on the assignment being studied to cover any difficulties that students may be having. The instructor is also responsible for grading assignments and discussing the results with the student, 如下面的示例所述.
A student will pass the course once all unit exams have been passed in succession with at least a 70 percent and the student has scored at least a 60 percent on the final exam. A letter grade is then assigned based on cumulative performance on all assignments in the course.
如果出现这种情况，学生就会挂科. If a student feels that there will not be enough time to finish the course due to falling behind, that student has the option to withdraw from the course before the withdrawal deadline. An unsuccessful student may continue working from the last unit that was completed at the end of the semester. 学生将重新注册这门课程, and results from the previous semester would be transferred to the next semester, 学生将继续像之前讨论的那样工作. 学生可以尝试两次以掌握为基础的学习课程. 如果是第三次尝试, the student would be required to start over from the beginning due to the amount of time that has passed.
A student who completes a mastery-based class early will earn a grade for the course based on class performance and have no further responsibilities for that course for the semester. 如果学生提前完成了MTH-090或095, 学生可以开始按顺序学习下一门课程. 任何完成的工作都将被转移到下一个学期. 一个学生在秋季学期注册了MTH-095. (5)他成功地完成了十月底的期末考试. 然后，该学生可以开始研究MTH-098. Any work completed would transfer to the spring semester when the student enrolls in Mastery-Based section for MTH-098.
