    Have you ever uttered the words, I am not good at fractions or have a fear when a teacher talks about fractions? Then this is the summer course for you. We will dive deep into the world of part-to-whole by strengthening your understanding of fractional concepts in a hands-on project-based learning way. This course will encourage students to learn from their mistakes, play with numbers, and fully experience the concepts of fractions, in a pressure-free setting.

    ASL IV Honors - First Semester / On Campus

    American Sign Language IV will continue to build the fundamentals learned in ASL I-III. Over 500 new vocabulary words will be introduced. Students will master facial expressions, body movements, and will polish clarity of signs. Students will complete conversations and naturalize the flow in spontaneous conversations. Special attention will be given to application of complex grammatical principles, including non-manual signals and temporal/distributional aspects. Students will learn the fundamental areas of linguistic inquiry (phonology, morphology, syntax, and the use of language) and will be introduced to the phonological, morphological, syntactical, and sociolinguistic structures of ASL. In addition to developing the fundamental skills needed by those working as interpreters, students will practice interpreting skills in class and in the field with experienced professionals. Students will also be required to complete 20 hours of service in the Deaf community.

    FracMania:Fractions Made Fun

    Have you ever uttered the words, I am not good at fractions or have a fear when a teacher talks about fractions? Then this is the summer course for you. We will dive deep into the world of part-to-whole by strengthening your understanding of fractional concepts in a hands-on project-based learning way. This course will encourage students to learn from their mistakes, play with numbers, and fully experience the concepts of fractions, in a pressure-free setting. The goal of this course is to have students walk away with a different perspective on fractions and leave feeling confident in the operations of solving them.
