Program Profile
NetMath Distance Education Program from the University of Illinois
NetMath students work in an interactive hands-on learning environment using Calculus&Mathematica, an award-winning courseware that makes it possible to do mathematical text, calculations, graphics and run programs in a single environment with the ease of a standard word processor. Students achieve a better conceptual understanding of the material while still gaining knowledge of the methods of problem-solving. When a student enrolls in a NetMath course, he or she is matched with a college student mentor who serves as a personal tutor, answers questions, and maintains contact with them as they progress through the course. Homework is submitted via an online course management system and is then graded by their mentor and returned to the student. Students also take online quizzes and written exams in-person with a local proctor. High school students use a teacher at their own school to administer exams and coordinate other details with the university. Adult learners are responsible for finding a local proctor that meets the NetMath proctor guidelines.
