CCDM 114N
Algebra Skills (or )
MATH 120
Intermediate Algebra

9. 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)

10. 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).

11. 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.

About half of F’s take Final.: large percent of F’s are de facto withdrawals
Don’t have transition pass rates for CCDM 114N -> 120
Unable to pull out major factors for subpopulations

13. 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.
