    ECS – Academic Excellence Workshop for Calculus courses (1 credit)

    Highly recommended for first-year students because it is designed to supplement the theory taught in Pre-calculus – calculus III courses. Problems will incorporate course work. The computational component is designed to reinforce the understanding of concepts through a series of repetitive exercises. Limited enrollment. If you plan to enroll, on your First Term Enrollment Selections, check the appropriate box, under Academic Excellent Workshop.
