For corequisite support courses that accompany College Algebra or Precalculus. This MyLab Math access card offers 18-week access. Flexible content, tailor-made for corequisite support courses Corequisite Support Modules for College Algebra or Precalculus provide targeted developmental review, and can be used in conjunction with any credit-level materials. The Modules include a corequisite support workbook and a corresponding MyLab(TM) course. The Corequisite Support Faculty Team who created these Modules comprises four instructors with experience in creating content for developmental-level courses, and who have been challenged with implementing corequisite courses at their own institutions.
Instructors can use the Corequisite Support Workbook, the corresponding modular course in MyLab Math, or both. The Modules are an affordable option, ideal for instructors who want to pick and choose review material easily, without requiring students to purchase two full texts or courses.

The
Corequisite Support Faculty Team comprises faculty who, like so many instructors around the country, were tasked with creating and implementing corequisites at their own institutions. Recognizing the need for corequisite support material that is easy to pick up and use in conjunction with a credit-level course, these instructors leveraged their own experiences with developmental students to create corequisite content accessible to a developmental-level student. Led by George Woodbury, who has authored textbooks for developmental math and statistics course areas, the Faculty Team utilizes their own experiences with corequisites and with active learning strategies to provide their best recommendations of corequisite support topics and resources that can work for any classroom.

Mari Menard earned bachelor's and Master of Science degrees in mathematics from Lamar University - Beaumont, in Beaumont, TX. She is a Professor of Mathematics at Lone Star College - Kingwood, in Kingwood, Texas. Mari is the Math Lab Faculty Liaison for the Math Learning Support Lab at her campus, affording her the opportunity to work with tutors and students alike enrolled in college math courses. She is an active member of AMATYC, and is currently the AMATYC Traveling Workshop Coordinator. Her own experiences in college allowed her to find her love of mathematics and a knack for helping her fellow students. She believes that students must build and nurture their math skills (what she terms their "math ego"), stay positive, work hard, and success will follow. She works with other math faculty at her college to determine content and implementation strategies for corequisite courses and is currently teaching her second semester of corequisite courses. She believes in learning from all experiences, and enjoys time with her husband and playing golf. Mari is the primary author of the Implementation Guide to support the Corequisite Support Modules.
