RVC Developmental Math Redesign in a Nutshell
RVC Developmental Math Model 2011 (PDF packet)
Comprehensive (redesigned placement, advising, courses, instruction, support, and program organization)
Non-grant funded
Not lab based
No self-paced classes
Uses direct instruction for 70% of courses, computer assisted for 20%, and fully online for 10%
Computer assisted courses use same pace, meet in a lab, have lecture then work on computers
MyMathLab is required using the same course shell for each course
All course policies are standardized
Mandatory testing and placement
Comprehensive departmental final exam
Most algebra courses are cut in half, called 8 week modules
Each module picks up where the previous one left off
In-course, online, and face-to-face advising
Use MyMathTest to improve placement scores
Departmental manual as well as regular training provided for all faculty teaching the courses
Custom materials written for activity based geometry course
Currently adding the Quantway course Mathematical Literacy for College Students to provide an accelerated option for non-STEM students
Average pass rates went from 48% (pre-redesign) to consistently 65-70% now
Students perform better in college level classes coming out of redesigned courses than original courses showing that standards have not been reduced.
