The Results Completed 2 years
The Results Completed 2 years Fall, students enrolled 26 successfully completed Precalculus 23 successfully completed Calculus I 18 successfully completed Calculus II
The Results Fall, enrolled 26 successfully completed Precalculus 27 successfully completed Calculus I 1 student with a D in Precalc. successfully completed Calc I 18 successfully completed Calculus II Several students changed major so only 22 attempted Calc. II
Conclusion A total of 35 students were ready for Calculus III or Differential Equations in their 3 rd semester
Conclusion A total of 35 students were ready for Calculus III or Differential Equations in their 3 rd semester They were on track to take other courses required in the engineering curriculum
Conclusion If you have questions, feel free to me at I’m looking forward to trying this program for a third year
