The tutorial lab showson the course schedule with one credit hour, but it is not recorded on the transcript for any credit.As a result, some students opt not to go to the lab. Compared to regular developmental mathclasses, the SBP math classes provide students with these advantages: a) attending the recitationsession regularly as a cohort; b) getting immediate feedback on their work and proper guidancefrom the instructor who can readjust his/her teaching plans according to students’ mastery andprogress; c) getting tutoring assistance from experienced
