MAT 1275CO Data for Curriculum Committee meeting March 26

From Professor Parker:

The attached files contain summaries of the 1275-1375 progression over the span from F18 to F19. (I do not have Summer โ€™19 data.) These summaries attempt to answer two questions that have arisen in meetings over the past week.

Q: Regarding the 1275 retake policy โ€“ how have students historically performed when retaking 1275 with an โ€œFโ€ versus with a โ€œWโ€ or โ€œWUโ€?

A: There are two files that deal with the data regarding students who retook 1275: one summary for students who retook the course after receiving an F; and another summary for those who retook after receiving a W or WU. Each file breaks out separate results for CO vs. NO.

 

Q: Regarding 1375 passing rates โ€“ what (if any) difference is there in the performance of students coming from CO vs. NO?

A: There is a third file that summarizes results from 1375 by looking at:

  1. those who were retaking 1375,  
  2. those who (most likely) placed into 1375 (or otherwise had at least a one semester gap),
  3. students who came from 1275 (with separated CO vs. NO)
