Developmental Pathway CCDM 100N College Prep CCDM 103N PreAlgebra CCDM 114N Algebra Skills (or 112+113) MATH 120 Intermediate Algebra

Variations on CCDM 114N Some sections of CCDM 114N (DE1—DE3) are being taught Emporium style, meaning self-paced, with option of completing through 120 Some sections are taught as mini-semesters with 120. Special sections for ACES (DA5), ED (DA6) and Business (DI4) Some are combined with 103 (DA2 for ACES) Others are Aggie Pathway (combined with CCDE etc)

Keeping Main Campus students on Main Campus AS 103, Quantitative Foundations began in Fall 2016. Modeled after UNIV 102, Quantitative Reasoning at UNM Structure was negotiated with Provost Goals: Keep students on Main Campus, curriculum tailored to student needs using Adaptive LEarning in Knowledge Spaces (ALEKS).

Other changes on Main Campus Major revisions to curriculum of 120 Intermediate Algebra 121G College Algebra 190G Precalculus Overseen by Mary Ballyk (tenure track) and Abby Train (Math Success Center Director) Substantial use of peer learning assistants; students actively engaged and accountable Goal: Success in first course means very likely success in next course.

Variations, hypotheses and Questions Corequisite models/accelerated paths: Expect good results if GenEd requirement fulfilled with next course. Results may not be as good if multiple subsequent courses needed to meet G-requirement.
