Involves multiple large enrollment courses

Impacts 75+% of the students in a department

This usually requires redesigning < 5 courses Math dev math , college algebra, statistics Englishdev writing, comp 1, comp 2

What would it take for “College Redesign”? < 5departments and < 25 courses

University of Mississippi Cleveland State Community College Chattanooga State Community College

There are other examples Virginia TechUniversity of Alabama

Successful redesign projects often spread due to improved results and student demand

Redesigned through Business Calculus

Enrollment increased after redesign

Efficiency gains used to benefit doctoral program

After RedesignBefore Redesign

Continuous Enrollment Plan Students may start in any redesigned math course when they

finish the course they are currently enrolled in, without switching classes

Students add second class to schedule if they complete it 63 students completed multiple math courses in 2008-2009 50 of these exited developmental math in one semester 2 students completed 3 courses in one semester 1 student completed 4 courses in one semester

Back to the One Room Schoolhouse Low enrollment classes always a problem Solution: Two classes in same room at the same time New course offerings at all campuses in Fall 2009 Scheduling flexibility increase due to this strategy Creates an atmosphere of Math on Demand

2 Developmental Math Courses Basic Math/Elem. Algebra, Basic Math/Int. Algebra

8 College Level Math Courses Contemporary Math, College Algebra, Statistics Precalculus I, Precalculus II, Calculus I Business Statistics, Business Calculus

1 Computer Labs, 7 Computer Classrooms 200 computer lab on main campus 32 computer classroom/lab at off sites

Project Timeline Spring 2010: Developmental Math Fall 2010: Six College Courses Fall 2011: Business Calculus, Business Statistics

4000+ Students Enrolled In 8 courses Each Semester

Redesign in math has been successful at all levels

Redesign applies to a wide variety of disciplines

Economies of scale apply to course redesign

Efficiency gains can be used to benefit programs

That’s all folks!Thanks for coming!
