This course is designated to achieve the Educational Goals 2, and 3 of General Basic Subjects.
First, students acquire a wide knowledge of natural science based on the Educational Goals 3. In each lesson, students listen to lectures about fundamental mathematics and solve mathematical problems. It helps students acquire the necessary and fundamental mathematical skills to learn mathematics at university.
Second, students achieve logical, critical and active manners based on the Educational Goals 2. In pre-assignment, students solve the basic questions. In learning when attending a lesson, they acquire logical and critical thinking skills and communication skills through advanced problem solving in group work. In post-assignment, students solve practice questions. It enhances the development of students' skills in making self-regulated learning.
(1) Students prepare to study basic mathematics in their first year at the university. They will learn "calculation of numbers and symbols"," Quadratic functions", "Exponent functions and Logarithmic functions" and "Trigonometric functions".
(2) Students will be able to learn autonomously through pre-assignment.
(3) Students can logically think through advanced problem solving in group work, and be able to communicate it to other students.
(1) Small tests in lesson and the assignments (reports of advanced problems and practice questions) (30%). They are returned after marking.
(2) Two mid-term examinations in the 4th and 8th lesson (30%). The example of answers are presented on LMS.
(3) A term-end examination is conducted at the end of the term (40%). The example of answers and explanations are presented on LMS.

In the first lesson, we will distribute teaching materials include a summarize of the theme, the range of the textbook, basic questions and practical questions for each lesson, and present them to LMS as well.
As a pre-assignment, students refer to the teaching materials, check the contents of the lesson, and solve the basic questions. (60 minutes)
Each lesson is as follows:
(1) Do a small test for the confirmation of previous lesson.
(2) Confirm the basic questions solved in pre-assignment.
(3) Solve advanced problems in group work, and discuss them with other students.
(4) Submit a report of the advanced problems. (Answer presented to LMS)
As a post-assignment, solve the practice questions specified in the teaching materials and check the contents of the lesson. (60 minutes)
The Teaching materials will be distributed in the first lesson. Also they are presented on LMS.
If your reports of each submission or the midterm examinations are not in the target level, we will prepare students for additional classes outside of the scheduled time table.
