MATH 123 Redesign with Adaptive Learning Homework

Abstract

This course, like its prerequisite MATH 122 (Calculus I), traditionally has a very low success rate; the two act as a severe bottleneck for the academic programs of students in STEM fields. MATH 123 is taught each semester in 10 or so small sections, and we do not have a departmental mandate to impose pedagogical changes within the classroom We do have historical data that identify students as ``at risk" based on past courses and exam scores. We aim to increase student success through a coordinated combination of online homework sets, weekly remediation for the at-risk students, and milestone examinations.
