Maywood offeres new math and writing courses

Maywood Park Campus has recently added math and writing to the list of courses available there.

These courses have been offered at the Maywood campus before, but slowly dwindled and became cancelled due to insufficient enrollment. Math instructor Jack Green and Dean of Humanities Eric Tschuy worked together to bring basic writing and math classes to the Maywood campus.

Tschuy said, “Jack determined which groupings of classes would have the most success.”

In order to increase their chances of success, the Office of College Advancement advertised them on the MHCC website and made handouts for instructors to distribute in classes.

“We worked with Adult Basic Services to ensure that there would be no room conflicts.  By offering our classes between noon and 5 p.m., we have a choice of rooms and don’t impede classes that are already scheduled at Maywood,” said Tschuy.

Tschuy added that there are plans to include different combinations of “basic and highly popular classes.”

“We hope that more and more students will consider Maywood for their basic classes. As demand increases, the number and variety of course sections can also increase.  We hope to serve more students close to where they live,” said Tschuy.
