Nancy and list,

>developmental mathematics at the college
>level. What level is it? arithmetic? elementary algebra? intermediate
>algebra? other?

At MATC arithmetic & elementary algebra. We consider intermediate algebra
a "college transfer" course, since most colleges around here still accept
it even though it may be generic credit

>
>On the flip side, how would you define a high level of mathematics at the
>high school level? two years of math, three years of math, four years of
>math, other?

Personally "High" level is thru a preacalculus course at high school

>at the college level? intermediate algebra? college algebra? precalculus?
>calculus? other?

Too many variables - depends on major area of study

>When you reply could you please specify whether or not you teach mathematics
>and if you do whether it is at the elementary, junior high, high school,
>2-year college, or 4-year college level?

I teach at a 2-year college.
