The PC in my office doesn't have a microphone. I I usually can hear though.

I'll change rooms

We encourage everyone to use the chat here to ask questions (since we've got everyone muted to avoid technical difficulties).

I noticed that you didn’t include CMAT 1313 Finite as an introductory level course

We just missed that as we were guesstimating which courses were introductory level. Thank you for sharing that.

Our institution has been in the process of "freeing up" general education courses across the degrees. What happens if a student completes a pathway and changes major?

The research shows that a vast majority of the students who change majors change from a stem major to a non-stem major. In this study, some students did change majors and were at least and even better in the stem courses than their peers

Agreed. My question is whether having different pathways will cause a student to retake math courses because a particular non-stem major requires it.

@Jimmy, we have seen institutions put ‘recommended or default math course’ in the program guide. An advisor can provide a waiver to substitute a different math course

@Jimmy For example, if the recommended course was intro statistics because the students will go on to take a “methods” class for their major (psychology, for example) but they took the pre-calc courses, the department may offer some extra tutoring or support in the stats skills that are not reintroduced in the methods course. It requires a lot of intentional collaboration between the math department and the partner disciplines that are worried about having students change majors with the wrong math class.

I see.

Most of the schools I have worked with have found ways to avoid requiring students to retake a gateway math course if they change from STEM to non-STEM.

I’m interested in the class size for the present model.

how many students total did you serve this fall? in previous years?

You mentioned using Pearson MyMathLab for homework. Were tests also on MyMathLab or were they on paper?

Next math after contemporary math?

No, paper test were given in class to prepare them for the final exam.

HI Frank,Based on the success rate for fall 2020 compared to other semesters, would you say cut scores to enter the co-requistie are crucial, or do you think it's more due to dual modality instruction?

Karen - after both courses students take Finite Math.

what would “enhanced advising” for underprepared students look like?

@Nathan, it can mean many different things, but the implication here is that, when your placement processes are more accurate, your advisors know which students really need more of a high-touch approach.

In the Box folder, look for “Readiness Assessment” and “Next Steps”

And later you will need “Attrition-Throughput”

The files are within the “Workshop 1” folder at the link.

The second Moderna shot is tough on you

Is the Breakout Report supposed to have a single comment for this breakout time?

It was not clear to me what information should have been input into the Google form.

@georgia, feel free to share any high level reflection or a big question that emerged from your breakout group here if you'd like.

Only 4 students would have made it through the system.

Okay, just wanted to verify that we were not adding info on each action on the assessment.

The Google form was intended for the breakout that we skipped. Sorry for the confusion! We hope you had a chance to look at the readiness assessment with your teams.

@georgia the readiness assessment is for your team to complete after this session, if you didn't have time to dig in fully in these breakouts

I’m hoping that we will have the “Homework Assignment” tasks sent to the team via email. Right?

Thank you very much

Thank you

Thank you much

An email containing the Readiness Assessment would be great. And thank you

Thank you.

Everyone stay safe!
