TEC 302 Review Quiz
The prerequisite to this class is MS 112 Precalculus Algebra (College Algebra). If it has been
more than a few years since you have had an algebra class you may not be prepared for this
class. To help you determine if you are ready to take this class here are some problems to
work. You may need to look up and review some of the concepts covered by these problems.
If after reviewing, you are still not able to work these problems without making (major)
mistakes or without looking at previous worked problems, examples, etc., then you are not
ready for this class. We will not discuss how to work these problems in class.
If you are not prepared for this class your best options are:
1. Retake MS 112
2. Audit MS 112
3. Take MS 115 Precalculus Algebra and Trigonometry (if you have the prereqs)
We will cover material in this class that utilizes these basic skills. If you do not have the
background material your chances of passing are greatly diminished.
