3. Topic Two: Changes--Old & New DevEd English/Reading Curriculum OLD OLD English 030 Reading 030 English 060 Reading 060 English 090 Reading 090 NEW: College Composition & Reading (CCR) combined into ONE of the following : --Soft Landing (Basic Skills 911) Optional Non-Credit --CCR 092+ 091 (6 credits) --CCR 092 (5 credits), --CCR 093 (3 credits) + 100 level class --or CCR 094 (3 credits) + English 121

4. Topic Two: Changes--Old & New DevEd Math Curriculum NEW OLD Optional Non-Credit Assessment Prep (non-credit) MAT 030 MAT 60 MAT 050 = 4 credits MAT 090 MAT 055 = 4 credits MAT 099 MAT 025 Algebraic Literacy lab = 1 credit

5. Topic Two: Changes--Details of DevEd English & Reading Course Level Possibilities for CCR (College Composition & Reading) *Course is co-req’ed with CCR 092 **Courses must be co-req’ed

6. Topic Two: Changes--Details of DevEd Math *Lab is co-req’ed with Math 055 (lab for Accuplacer placement scores of EA 45-59)

7. Topic Two: Placement Scores • Students will be placed into particular DevEd classes depending on their placement test scores on CMC approved tests such as Accuplacer, Compass, ACT, or SAT. • Note: If eligible, students can received financial aid for CCR 092 + 091, 092, 093, 094 and Math 050, 055, and 025. SEE NEXT 3SLIDES for Accuplacer Placement Scores. KEY: RC/Rd = Reading Comprehension SS = Sentence Skills EA = Elementary Algebra AR = Arithmetic continued

11. Topic Two: Placement into DevEd CCR Can students take ANY DevEd CCR course? No. Students should be placed according to their test placement scores. However--- • If students place into CCR 093 or CCR 094, they should take either one of these classes. Alternatively, students can take CCR 092 because they are allowed to take a CCR class with a required lower placement score. • If students place into CCR 092, they cannot take a CCR course that requires a higher placement score such as required in CCR 093 or CCR 094. • Initial contact with an advisor is critical so students can can be advised into the best DevEd class for them. When enrolling in a DevEd course, students must have an advisor’s signature on their Registration Form.

12. Topic Two: Placement into DevEd Math 050 Can students take ANY DevEd Math course? No. Students should be placed according to their test placement scores. • In general, if students are interested in taking a 100 level Non-Transfer or Non-STEM math course, they should enroll in Math 050 (Quantitative Literacy). • If students plan to take Math 103, 107, 108, 109, 112, 120, 135, 155, or 156, they should enroll in Math 050. continued

13. Topic Two: Placement into DevEd Math 055 • continued • If students have an EA (elementary algebra) score 60-84, they can enroll in Math 055 (Algebraic Literacy/STEM prep). • If students plan to take College Algebra 121 or 123, they should take Math 055. Math 055 includes content necessary for success in College Algebra. • Initial contact with an advisor is critical so students can be advised into the best class for them. Advisors will discuss the two math academic pathways based on career choice. • If students feel they have chosen the incorrect math pathway, they can take a different DevEd math course depending on their placement scores, or they can re-test. • When enrolling in a DevEd math, students must have an advisor’s signature on their Registration Form.
