Camp Syllabus and Performance Measures
CSC Final Day ■ Examining the growth of camp participants from the Pre-test to the Post-test – Students will be re-taking the final exam for Intermediate Algebra. Camp personnel will examine the growth of students from the results of the exam from Day 1. ■ Participant performance tier placement – Star Performer – STEM-UP Performer – Potential STEM Student – Potential Collegiate Learner – Completion of the Camp ■ STEM-UP Academy selection – Students who have earned a placement of Star Performer, STEM-UP Performer, and Potential STEM student will be granted admittance into the STEM-UP Academy. – Students who have a placement of Potential Collegiate Learner and Completion of the Camp will go through further review by HCC-UT STEM faculty to determine acceptance status.
CSC Participant Course Recommendation ■ Along with student participant ACT scores, this camp will be used to gauge student performance in developmental math to determine if they will enroll in College Algebra, College Algebra with the Co-requisite math lab course, or Intermediate Algebra.

MAZE RUNNER WHY This activity is design to challenge you to work as a team to complete the maze puzzle. On a winning team, each player meshes his or her abilities with other teammates toward achieving the task at hand. In this activity, you learn to appreciate the value of assigning roles and developing a plan at the beginning of a problem-solving process. LEARNING OBJECTIVE PERFORMANCE CRITERIA ■ Develop teamwork skills in a fun problem- Successfully complete the maze puzzle. ■ solving environment. ■ Complete a team reflectors report – ■ Identify and then select team roles which Team Assessment will help your team efficiently complete ■ Complete a team recorders report – the maze before the other team. Presentation Assessment
MAZE RUNNER ACTION PLAN 1. Identify the team Captain and team roles a) Team Captain is responsible for assigning team roles to other members and managing team success. b) Spokesperson is the only person responsible for speaking for the team. c) Recorder is responsible for documenting all team responses to the maze puzzle and critical thinking questions. d) Reflector is complete the reflector report 2. Develop a Team Name. 3. Complete the maze puzzle using the questionnaire. The starting point of the maze is indicated with the mark “X”. 4. Once the maze is completed, the spokesperson will raise their hand for the facilitator(s) to verify the maze is correct. 5. After the verification of the maze, the reflector will complete the reflectors report.
