Early Intervention Advising with Technology in Calculus

Continuing to improve our Redesign for Calculus I and Calculus II we introduce pre-testing in the first week of class. This test is administered online through WebAssign, the homework software system used in the redesigned class. Results of the test are thus immediately available, and we provide data to the advising centers College of Natural Science and Mathematics Academic Advising Center and the College of Engineering Student Success Center. The Centers use our information together with information from other core courses to identify students who show signs of struggling and provide advising and support for them early in the semester.
