Success Stories
Howard
- 83% increase in enrollment in Mathematical Foundations (MATH-037) from AY16-17 through AY18-19
- ABC rates for the Mathematical Foundations course were 67% in AY 18-19.
- Enrollments in courses that follow the new Mathematical Foundations course have been increasing and this fall those courses saw a 42% and 34% increase in enrollments.
- For students who successfully completed Mathematical Foundations, success rates in the following courses were 69% and 66%.
- Success rates for gateway courses after taking Mathematical Foundations (MATH-037) are comparable to success rates for students who had taken Intermediate Algebra (MATH-070), and these success rates represent the shortened pathway.
- Following the success of the Mathematical Foundations pathway, HCC has decided to launch a second pathway for students in STEM. This involved developing a co-requisite model for Intermediate Algebra with Pre-Calculus I and then following that with a Pre-Calculus II course in the winter or summer. This new pathway is being developed using Open Education Resources.
