During the class period the student takes a short test on the material studied earlier. The instructor, by looking over the test, can easily identify any problems the student may be having and assign any additional exercises required. When the student fully understands the concepts involved, he or she may then have the test corrected by a classroom aide and continue with the next unit. One of the principal advantages of the MLC system is that each student works independently from the rest of the class. The student may proceed quickly through familiar material and slow down to fully absorb new concepts which might be skimmed over in a standard classroom.
Scheduling is also an advantage.
If they wish, students may even come in before or after school. A summer school course is also offered. The Math Learning Center was established in 1970. Since that time, most of the test answers have been transferred to computer to facilitate the correcton of tests. The popularity of the class has increased drastically.
