MATH 3ET3 A/B S - Mathematics Teaching Placement

3 unit(s)

This course is intended to help students explore teaching as a profession and integrate academics with a community, volunteer or professional experience. The student will complete an academic component in addition to the placement. This course includes a scientific communication component. Students are responsible to arrange a suitable placement and supervision, and are required to submit an application to the Science Career and Cooperative Education (SCCE@mcmaster.ca) 30 days prior to registration. A minimum of 60 hours of placement work involving teaching and/or tutoring is required through the duration of the experience; the course may be completed over one or two terms.
Prerequisite(s): Registration in Level III or above in an Honours program in Mathematics and Statistics; and permission of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. MATH 2ET3* is recommended.
A maximum of three units of MATH 3ET3 A/B S may be used toward the Mathematics and Statistics requirements of the degree.
With permission, MATH 3ET3 A/B S may be repeated, to a total of six units, if the placement is deemed sufficiently different from the first experience.
