this website was created with the intention of helping those who use it.  to this effect, we created this page primarily for teachers who want to use it in a computer lab / classroom environment.  additionally, this page could be used by anyone who just wants to get more out of college_base.  we'd like to extend an invitation to all users of this website to tell us what you've done with it; it's good to hear from you.  your advice and help allows us to tailor further versions of this page in order to suit your needs.

admission tips

students can independently peruse the admission section for ideas about what concepts are important.  from there, they can review the basic fundamentals of those concepts and, if needed, consult back to their teacher or mentor for any additional help.

this section can also be used in class work.  as a teacher covers a concept in class, he could review the information on our web page.  we encourage the usage of our problems / information to help provide in-class examples or explanations.  additionally, more problems can be easily created on the same math concepts by simply using different numbers and words in the problems.
the website is primarily intended as a guide for reviewing concepts prior to taking the sat or act tests; however, one may also find it useful for introducing these concepts to students for the first time.

once a student has reviewed the admission section, he could be assigned to create a problem of his own with which to teach the class.  if each class member did this, it would provide a collaborative environment for classmates to teach each other important concepts involving math, verbal, and science skills.

if our admission section can not be incorporated into classroom work, our website could be mentioned to students for outside  work or help.  our website makes an excellent supplement to in-class lessons.

some extra-credit assignments could also be derived from our website.  students could have the option of developing their own questions to discuss with the class, or perhaps the option of going ahead and learning concepts that are not taught in class.
 
adventure / appraisal ideas, hints

the adventure and appraisal sections encourage student use in a more individual manner.  on his own time, a student can peruse the adventure section and get a more realistic view of the college experience, in the words of people who have lived through it.  the appraisal section can be utilized by a student as a supplementary resource for choosing a college.

as a teacher, one could allow his class to review the information found on our website's adventure and appraisal sections.  as a follow up, the students in the class could be made to write down, and later discuss, something they didn't know about a college or college life with the class.  this would create a fuller learning experience.
