Challenge of courses
cannot be
used to
fulfill University Core requirements. Challenge of courses is an
acceptable means of demonstrating competency in only the subset of
courses listed below. In most courses in mathematics and statistics,
and in all advanced courses, major components of the course material
and content are furnished by the class instructor. This content can
only be learned by class attendance, a feature which renders some
courses ineligible for challenge credit. Courses in
which challenge
credit may be obtained: - M 151
Precalculus*
- M 161 Survey of Calculus
- M
165 Calculus for
Technology I
- M 166 Calculus for
Technology II
- M 171 Calculus I*
- M 172 Calculus II
- M 273 Multivariable Calculus
- M 274
Introduction to
Differential Equations
- Stat 216 Introduction to
Statistics
- Stat 217 Intermediate
Statistical Concepts
(* CLEP Exam available in MSU Testing Services - Reid 243, 994-6984) Students
who wish to challenge
courses numbered 300 and above should check with the Department of
Mathematical Sciences. Course Challenge Procedures:
- A student must meet all
requirements in the MSU catalog, including:
- Application
for challenge
credit will not be allowed if either of the following cases exist:
- The
student has
previously received a grade other than W in the course or
- The
student has
previously taken the course for zero credit.
- Application for challenge
credit is made on forms available from the Registrar's Office.
- A
fee of $30 per credit will
be charged and must be paid prior to taking the challenge exam.
- In
cases where CLEP exams are
available they will be used for determining the awarding of challenge
credit in a course.
- Demonstration of course
competency will include the following:
- A written
midterm that
must be passed before going further.
- A written
final that will
cover the entire course material.
The grade will be determined by the performance on both exams.
