Engineering LLC programming. b. Math Courses: All FTIC students at FAMU must take the ALEKS math assessment. The assessment determines the math course students take in their first semester, unless they have dual enrollment and/or AP credit. Based on their ALEKS scores or credit, students are placed into either College Algebra (30-60), Trigonometry (61-75), Calculus I (76- 100) class. Engineering LLC scholars are placed into a section of their respective assigned courses together, so they can form study groups and a shared sense of experience within these math courses. The class is open to the general FAMU population. The Engineering LLC students are a subset of the class. The math professors are

. However, itbecame clear within the first week of lab that a) it was necessary to prevent the masks from beingexposed to individuals using the PPE table and b) students needed somewhere to place theirreusable / cloth masks after removing them. To address this, the instructor began placing eachmask in a plastic bag. Students could then remove and don the mask inside and place their clothmask into the empty bag.Compliance with mask requirements was excellent. There was only one occasion during the twosemesters in which the lab operated under COVID-19 policies when a student failed to complywith mask requirements. That case was early in the first semester, and the student had simplyforgotten to wear / bring a mask to lab.Despite requiring the viewing
