74 CUSTOMERS SENIORS I-leadstart on mathematics High school students acquire college credits by taking extra courses on campus Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday morning Jim Hurtig and Mike Ftueck rushed off to their first hour class, just like many other high school kids their age. The only difference was they didn't go to high school, they went to college. Rather than taking a course at Silver Lake, Hurtig and Ftueck, both seniors in the gifted program, decided to expand their mathemat- ical knowledge by enrolling in Washburn Uni- versity's college algebra class. The class, beginning at 9 am. and continu- ing for 50 minutes, was taught by Professor Kathy Gosa. Lasting for one semester, the class was worth one half credit. Hurtig and Ftueck completed the credit by taking calcu- lus and Analytical Geometry I second semes- ter. I liked it fthe coursej because we only got graded on the tests, said Hurtig. And agreeing Rueck added, I liked the freedom, too. You could skip a day and not really miss that much. According to the two students, assign- ments were made daily, but these were nei- ther graded nor handed in. These assign- ments were for the benefit of the student only. lf after a lecture, something was not clear, the homework assignment could usual- ly be some assistance in helping the student understand. new f f- . College algebra dealt with various math- ematical forms such as: linear functions, qua- dratic functions, graphing, intervals, and in- equalities. At first we went through stuff we already knew, but we got into new material later on, said Hurtig. Rueck, who was hoping to attend either Wichita State University or Kansas State Uni- versity, planned on majoring in civic and aeronautical engineering. Hurtig, a bit unsure as to which college he would attend, wished to major in pre-med and then continue into medical school. Both felt, with their college majors already decided upon, enrolling in college algebra was a smart move. l would recommend taking it to anyone too advanced for the regular math courses, Ftueck said. Today Hurtig and Rueck have dreams of what their future holds. Undoubtedly, their dreams of today will be, for them, reality of tomorrow. Campus-goers. Working toward enhancing their education, seniors Mike Flueck and Jim Hurtig, attend a college algebra class at Washburn University.
