3. “The more levels of developmental courses a student needs to go through, the less likely that student is to ever complete college English or math.” - Thomas Bailey (2009) CCRC Brief.

4. For a student starting in MAT 090 (Beginning Algebra): 0.60 * 0.80 * 0.60 * 0.80 * 0.60 = 14% 14% of students starting in Beginning Algebra complete their college level math class For a student starting in MAT 060 (PreAlgebra): 0.60 * 0.80 * 0.60 * 0.80 * 0.60 * 0.80 * 0.60 = 7% 7% of students starting in PreAlgebra complete their college level math class

6.  Students pursuing Non-STEM majors need different math skills than students pursuing STEM majors Examples of Career and Technical : Medical Office Technology, Automotive Tech, Radiology Examples of Non-STEM : Journalism, Communications, Education Examples of STEM : Engineering and the Sciences  As a result of these different needs, the learning objectives for the new courses were created using reverse design and overlap was removed.
