The purpose of the LEC English program is to assist underprepared students in improving writing skills. Students are provided with a basic foundation that gives them an opportunity to succeed in other college writing courses. The ESL program emphasizes the importance of student success and assists students as they make the adjustment from their native cultures to the American culture and strives to help foreign students make a successful transition to American college life. Math The LEC math program teaches students fundamental math skills and how to implement these math procedures in problem-solving situations. The math program also teaches students the academic skills needed for success in other classroom situations.
Classes are available in a traditional classroom setting or as a telecourse.
Reading The mission of the LEC reading program is to empower students with the skills they need for reading in college courses. The students who master the appropriate reading courses should be able to tackle a textbook using a base of skills which, if combined with appropriate time and effort, will lead them to academic success. College Success College success instruction covers the fundamental skills of how to manage time, sharpen concentration and memory, monitor reading comprehension, utilize library resources, select careers, reason analytically, manage stress, behave assertively, take effective notes, and prepare adequately for tests. Utilization of these strategies and techniques results in quality, effective study time. These skills are both directly applicable to concurrent classes that students are taking and to future course work.
