MCT4C/MAT8100 Dual Credit • Prerequisite • MCT4C or MCR3U • MAP4C with 60% minimum or MCF3M(Remedial) • MAT8100 – Success results Fall 2008 • MAT8100 students with MCT4C or MCR3U • 70% of students successful • MAT8100 students with MAP4C • 43% of students successful without a remedial approach
High School Teacher Experience • Student learning in the dual credit course • Teaching style • Applications and relevance of material • Making students successful? • Encouraging independence • Lower marks but greater learning
College Professor Experience • College evaluation vs. High School evaluation • The College evaluation system demands greater retention • High Schools appear to provide failing students with several make-up quizzes and tests • Problems associated with poor retention
