  1. Math Acceleration

  2. Accelerate Developmental Math students through the developmental curriculum by reducing the number of courses in the developmental math sequence. • Focus on increasing transfer rates for non-STEM majors who need Statistics to transfer.

  3. % passing statistics based on beginning math level% is halved with each additional developmental course.

  4. Math 248up – Accelerated Mathematics for Statistics • Developmental Preparatory Course for Math 13 (Statistics) • pre-req is successful completion of pre-algebra or placement into elementary algebra • covers elementary and intermediate algebra topics from Math 201 and 203 that are needed for statistics, with a data analysis contextualization • introduces basic statistical topics covered in college-level statistics

  5. intended only for those students who want to transfer and need Math 13 • not intended for STEM, nursing, or business majors – who need intermediate algebra as a pre-requisite for other math/science courses • does not substitute for intermediate algebra • students seeking an AA degree before they transfer will need Math 13 to meet their AA requirements

  6. 2 sections begun at BCC Spring 2012 • COA begins: Fall 2012 • 5-credit hour course • Meets twice/week; almost 6 hrs/week

  7. Recommendations Institutional encouragement of further faculty training and course development Institutional monitoring of experimental program success rates
