Developmental Education courses are designed to strengthen students’ basic skills in reading, writing, and math in order to achieve academic success in transitioning into college level coursework. To ensure the success of developmental students, PREP, a student success class is required for students who fail two or more sections of the Texas Success Initiative (TSI) placement. The division offers classes for students to prepare for the GED® exam and the Texas Success Initiative Assessment (TSI).
Developmental classes provide multi-level, computer-based instruction to strengthen basic skills in a variety of areas. Instruction is customized to meet the individual needs of each student. For more information, please call 685-6819. For information on Developmental Math, please call Gena Nicholson at 685-6803.
PREP 0370 –Midland College requires that students who fail two more TSI requirements will be enrolled into PREP 0370 during their first semester. PREP 0370 is designed to assist college students with the necessary skills needed for academic success and for success in life. PREP 0370 will allow students to explore who they are, where they come from and present options for where they are headed. PREP 0370 will concentrate on areas of success such as motivation, self-esteem, time management, critical thinking, active learning, study skills, decision making, relationship building and personal care.
Integrated Reading and Writing
Midland College Integrated Reading and Writing (IRWD) courses are designed to provide learning opportunities of several kinds:
- developmental instruction for those who need to do compensatory work in order to reach reading and writing competence in compliance with the Texas Success Initiative;
- work in comprehension, writing skills, vocabulary and reading rate for students wishing to enhance their college reading, writing, and studying abilities; and work to enhance comprehension, vocabulary and reading rates in a specified area of study or major.
