Challenging the Next Level of Developmental Math

Students who successfully complete (grade of "C" or higher) a developmental math class are permitted to challenge the next level.

Students who receive a grade of "C" or higher in MAT 010 are permitted to challenge MAT 013 once. Students who receive a grade of "C" or higher in MAT 013 are permitted to challenge MAT 014 once.

Once your grade has been entered on your transcript, you can visit the Testing Center (except for Thursday) to take a challenge test for the next level of developmental math.  If you successfully challenge that next level, you can visit the Advising Center to adjust your schedule accordingly.

Please be sure to prepare for your challenge, however.  Visit the Testing Center Review Material Page for sample review questions.

Information about a Free Reanimator Show and Worskhop at MCC

REANIMATOR SHOW and FREE ANIMATION WORKSHOP


What does it mean to take an object and animate it?

 

On Thursday, November 15th from 1:45-4:45, professional animator Richard Thompson will be running a free animation workshop for students hosted by media arts and design/visual arts dept (VPMA). We can accommodate up to 25 students but you need to rsvp by this Monday to me, Prof. Heller so I can add you to our official confirmation list. I also have an excuse note you can pick up which is signed by me to present to your instructor if you have a class at that time. This is a great opportunity to work with an animator in a workshop atmosphere. Mr. Thompson has done 3D work for both TV and film.


At five o’clock that same day in the Studio Theatre Gallery, we are having an exhibition and reception for the show: Reanimator, which includes animatronic sculpture (mechanical moving objects/things/figures), an award winning and strange animation/video piece: Metachaos, and puppets.

There will also be a brief performance and a chance to speak with the artists. Food served. You are invited to come to this too. In fact, we hope you can come to both! One event directly follows the other.


Here is the information: WORKSHOP

When: Thursday, November 15th, from 1:45-4:45

Where: JLC Media Arts area rm. 116

What: ANIMATION WORKSHOP with working animator

RSVP: nheller@middlesexcc.edu



REANIMATOR SHOW

When: also Thursday, November 15th, but from 5-7

Where: Studio Theatre Gallery (next to College Center, big glass fronted bldg) at MCC

What: show of animatronics, animation/video, puppetry and performance: meet the artists and hear them speak about their stuff


If you are a member of the ANIME club, can you tell your membership about this? We welcome your participation and if all goes well, hope to do more like this in future.

Prof. Nadine Heller
