About The
Developmental Math Program at SJSU
See a video case study about the program at:
http://pachyderm.cdl.edu/elixr-stories/tcd-dev-math/
All of the courses in the Developmental Math program cover a combined
elementary and intermediate algebra curriculum. The content is
covered in several formats including both a one and a two-semester
review. Students who complete any of the following will have
satisfied the ELM requirement and be eligible to enroll in a GE math
course. An additional placement test is required by the Math
Department for those wishing to take Calculus.
Courses that complete the ELM requirement:
o Math 3R
o Math 6L
o Math 6D
