Welcome to the MAT 1604 course offered at Hostos Community College. This course is offered in a hybrid mode where at least 30% of the instruction occurs online. The purpose of these materials is to help students to become more comfortable with the goals and objectives of the course.

This course is designed to provide students with much greater access to the instructor, and to classmates. This increased access enables students to develop a deeper understanding of the topics they have worked with in the past. Students spend time on a regular basis learning the course content, solving routine and challenging exercises, and participating in online discussions with their peers and the instructor. This provides a way to increase student participation in the learning process, assist students to become more familiar with the course content and encourage them to ask questions, share their ideas, and self-test their grasp of concepts outside the classroom in a less intimidating environment.

The development of this website was possible due to the unconditional support received from NETsWork through the Institute for Schools of the Future, and the technical support received from the Instructional Technology Support Center of the Eugenio Maria de Hostos Community College.

Thanks.
