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.
