Calculus I Redesign with Supplemental Instruction and ALEKS

Abstract

We have chosen a two-pronged approach to improving student achievement in Calculus 1. First, we offer a preparation for calculus course through the ALEKS system for students to complete within the first six weeks of the semester. The course is designed to refresh and improve students’ prerequisite knowledge. Secondly, throughout the semester, we offer students to participate in Supplemental Instruction for two hours per week.
