  12. Student evaluations • We asked students why they thought they made gains in math 50 this quarter.

  13. Students said: • Excellent attendance, willingness to learn, committed instructors and tutors - competent& supportive, committed to doing homework, setting goals for success. • Took more time understanding the numbers, asked questions, did homework, review of entire work and the tutor help. • In class every day, doing class work online and doing homework. • Finding easier steps to solve problems, tutor helps a lot when I’m stuck, and gained Accuplacer 50 points. • Try my best, asked questions, studied with a group, was in class on time, looked at it visually, study a lot on it to get the point. • Class work is what made me better. • I have learned so much more in math then I knew before by being in this class and having a tutor. • Math used to be a 4 letter word to me. Not anymore.
