Part II. Analysis of the Program

In R/D math 325 students were enrolled in the 12-13 year for a decrease of 55 students from the previous year. Especially spring enrollment was 72 in the 12 - 13 year for a decrease of 28 from the previous year. There were less students enrolling in R/M classes because we shortened the R/D path way. More students spent one semester in Math 26 instead of takeing Math 24 and Math 25 for two semesters. There was a 9% decrease in enrollment for the AtD cohort with placement, which is considered unhealthy according to the instructional benchmarks.This suggests that new students are delaying their study of mathematics. One of the possible solutions is to require students who test into rem/dev to take it in their first semester. The average class size was 19.4 with the fill rate of 87.8%. We did a good job in filling our R/D classes. Retention in the courses that are one level below college level is at 95% and for courses that are two levels below it is at 86%. The successful completion statistic for Math 21 is at 61% ( a 16% increase from last year.) The teaching variations of Math 21 is standardized with the new full time developmental math instructor was hired. The successful completions for one level below courses have increased.

 

Part III. Action Plan

Tutoring - Peer tutoring continues to be important support service for students in R/D math courses.  Under the coordination of Tina Castro, the tutoring center continues to have math tutors available throughout the day.  Furthermore, all math faculty are currently offering tutoring sessions in the tutoring center 2 hours/ week.

Accelerated Courses- KCC is currently offering an accelerated Math 26 course ( a combination of Math 24 and 25 courses,) and Math 21 (a combination of basic math skill and the Math 22 course.)  Both success rate and retention rate for Math 26 / 21 have been successful. A hybrid Math 26 is currently implementing in Fall 13. 

IS 103- Starting in the Fall 2012 semester, KCC students who place into two or more remedial/developmental courses are required to take IS 103, Intro to College, in their first semester.  IS 103 is a college success course which covers study skills, college resources, technology as well as time managememnt and motivation. The purpose of the course is to increase student retention and success.

Math Bootcamp - In the summer 2013, more than 30 students who place into remedial/developmental courses spent a week at the Math Bootcamp, immersing themselves in math for five hours a night. Students' response was overwhelmingly positive. We are still collating the data from Fall 2013 semester and plan for another Math Bootcamp in Summer 2014.

Mandatory placement for students tested in Dev. Math courses - There was a 9% decrease in enrollment for the AtD cohort with placement, which is considered unhealthy according to the instructional benchmarks.This suggests that new students are delaying their study of mathematics. One of the possible solutions is to require students who test into rem/dev to take it in their first semester. The Math department has researched the mandatory placement for R/D Math courses.
