How it Started

•Request to increase success rates•Extra lab day•Started collecting data•Need for early intervention

SIU Math Courses

• Math 101 (Non-STEM majors, satisfies Core Curriculum requirement)

• Math 107 (Includes STEM/Business majors, no credit towards degree, “remedial” course)

• Math 108 (Includes STEM/Business majors, credit towards degree, satisfies UCC)

Lessons Learned

Remedial courses are rarely effective.

Intervention must be early.

Some students struggle, some just don’t engage.

“Getting green” by Week 8 is pathway to success.

Week 325%* (Preparation) + 25%* (Motivation) + 50%*

(Demonstration)

• RED: 0% to 55%• ORANGE: 56% to

65%• YELLOW: 65% to

75%• GREEN: 76% to 100%

• Students also receive an intervention score in week 8 and week 12 that is simply their course grade at that time.
