1. The Journey Continues

2. For every FOUR students who make 39+ on the Compass after MATD 0370 and continue to MATH 1342 (Elementary Statistics), ONE passes  This means for many students, Elementary Algebra is not good enough preparation for Elementary Statistics.  Intermediate Algebra does not provide any additional benefit in preparing these students for statistics.

3.  We support having 0385, but Statway is set up differently with a two-semester learning community and activities more focused on preparing the students for 1342.  Statway teaches math in a Statistics context right from the beginning. Students practice analyzing data and writing complete analytical solutions instead of simply practicing more quantitative calculations.  We will be getting materials that are developed to meet Math Outcomes developed / approved by AMATYC for such a course and Stat outcomes approved by the Education committee of the American Stat Assn as being appropriate for an Elem Stat course.

4. 1. MATH 1342 Option Semester 1: 4 hours MATD “Math for Stats I” Semester 2: MATH 1342 (Elementary Statistics) + 1 hour MATD “Math for Stats II” 2. Unique Needs Option Semester 1: 1 hour MATH “Descriptive Statistics” + 3 hours MATD “Math for Stats I” Semester 2: 2 hours MATH “Inferential Statistics” + 2 hours MATD “Math for Stats II”

5.  MATH 1342 and a 1 hour MATD (“Math for Stat II”) for any additional developmental topics to support learning statistics, whose prerequisite is…  New 4 hour developmental course, “Math for Stat I”, to cover the developmental math topics from Statway (with assumption that students from Math for Stat I will all continue to a Statway 1342 section) First: 4 hours MATD Second: 3 hours MATH 1342 + 1 hour MATD Advantage: Transferability is guaranteed

6.  Creation of two new College Level courses that split the content of MATH 1342  to be paired with MATD each semester (Math for Stat I & II): First: 3 hours MATD + 1 hour MATH Second: 2 hours MATD + 2 hours MATH Advantage: Statway materials can be used as provided

7. Course Description (tentative; to be split for the Unique Needs Option): The first in a two-semester course, to be paired with a designated MATH 1342 section in the second semester. This course surveys a variety of mathematical topics needed to prepare students for the statistical reasoning and data analysis needed in MATH 1342. It also covers most THEA mathematics topics. Topics include: arithmetic with rational numbers; linear models; evaluating expressions and formulas; rates, ratios, and proportions; percentages; solving equations and inequalities; data interpretations including graphs and tables; verbal, algebraic and graphical representations of functions; exponential models; and an introduction to other models, including quadratic, logarithmic, and/or rational.

8. Next Option for Student Student's MATD “Math for Stat I” Result Student takes MATD “Math for Stats I” which includes the developmental math topics from Statway Mathematics for Statistics I Pass How does this student become TSI Complete? Does not Pass (Not TSI Complete) Retake MATD “Math for Stat I” Take MATD 0370

9. Next StepResultNext Step Student passes MATD “Math for Stats I” Pass Takes MATH 1342 (Paired Statway section) and 1 hour MATD “Math for Stats II” Passes = TSI Complete Does not pass = not TSI Complete Back to 0385, 0370, or retry 1342 Statway Takes THEA

10. Next StepResultNext Step Student passes MATD “Math for Stats I” Pass Takes MATH 1342 (Paired Statway section) and 1 hour MATD (“Math for Stats II”) Takes THEA Passes = TSI Complete Takes 1332, 1333, or 1342 (regular section) Takes MATD 0385 or 0370 Takes COMPASS to place into Algebra Does not pass = not TSI Complete Takes MATD 0385 or 0370

11. Next Option for Student Student's first semester result Student takes the first semester of the Unique Needs Combo MATD 3 hours + Descriptive Stats Pass How does this student become TSI Complete? Does not Pass (Not TSI Complete) Retake first semester combo Take MATD 0370

12. Next StepResultNext Step Student passes MATD + Descriptive Stats Pass Takes second semester combo: MATD + Inferential Stats Passes = TSI Complete Does not pass = not TSI Complete Back to 0385, 0370, or retry second semester combo Takes THEA

13. Next StepResultNext Step Student passes MATD + Descriptive Stats Pass Takes second semester combo: MATD + Inferential Stats Takes THEA Passes = TSI Complete Takes 1332, 1333, or 1342 Takes MATD 0385 or 0370 Takes COMPASS to place into Algebra Does not pass = not TSI Complete Takes MATD 0385 or 0370

14. Student may enroll in Statway Option A: High School Algebra II + Placed into 0370/ Passed 0330 Option B: Placed into 0370/ Passed 0330

15. 1. Do we want to move forward and commit to pilot the course?  This would be a two-year commitment, with the option to pull out after one year if deemed necessary 2. Do we want to go the MATH 1342 or the Unique Needs Route? 3. Do we want the prerequisite to include High School Algebra II?
