Math 96=Prerequisite to All Gateway Math? 2/3 of Math 96 content is not needed for success in Math 120 Providing alternative route to Math 120  improves success for Liberal Arts students  allows a more focused and effective route for remedial students into College Algebra  students who complete Math 96 now have 70% success rate in Math 126 Both Groups of Students Benefit

Co-requisite Model Foundation Needed for both College Algebra and Math 120 Needed for College Algebra, but not Math 120

How Co-req. Model Classes Work ACT=19, SAT=470, ACC EA=76, Math 95 Elementary Algebra Or NSHE CORE GPA=3.5 Math 96 OR Math 120E + Math 96A 4 credits ACT=20, SAT=480, ACC CLM=30, or Math 96A Math 126E + Math 96D 5 credits

Fall 2013 Remedially-Placed Cohort (all, not just freshmen) 70% 56% 94% 81% Pass Rate ABCD ABC 90% ABCD

Fall 2013 Remedially-Placed Cohort (all 870, not just freshmen) 34% of Cohort Earned College Credit in Fall Via 120E & 126E

Overall Success Large scale pilot of 120E and 126E, without Math 95 prerequisite for Math 96 and 120E 80% of remedially-placed freshmen earned college credit in first year Systematic placement yielded higher enrollments Pass rates >90% in 120E, 80% in 126E Fine-tuning placement in Math 95 vs Math 96 OR 120E

Biggest Challenges: Staffing and $$ Student/Teacher Ratio Smaller to Support Remedial Students Credit Bearing Means State Funded LOA Positions Have 12 Credit Limit 5+5+?=12 5+?+?=12 Lecturers Can Teach 15, 16, 20 Credits (with overload), But That’s More Expensive

Conclusions Success Rates of Freshmen with ACT or Math 95 in Math 120E+96A ACT in Math 126E+96D Are as High as Those of Freshmen with ACT >=22 in Math120 and 126 Math 95 Provides Common Foundation for Weakest Students PeopleSoft Provides Multiple Tools to Insure Students Stay on Math Track HS GPA Provides Useful Additional Placement For Math 95 vs 96
