Developmental Pathway CCDM 100 N College Prep CCDM 103 N Pre. Algebra CCDM 114 N Algebra Skills (or 112+113) All About Discovery! ™ New Mexico State University nmsu. edu MATH 120 Intermediate Algebra
Variations on CCDM 114 N • Some sections of CCDM 114 N (DE 1—DE 3) are being taught Emporium style, meaning self-paced, with option of completing through 120 • Some sections are taught as mini-semesters with 120. Special sections for ACES (DA 5), ED (DA 6) and Business (DI 4) • Some are combined with 103 (DA 2 for ACES) • Others are Aggie Pathway (combined with CCDE etc) All About Discovery! ™ New Mexico State University nmsu. edu
Keeping Main Campus students on Main Campus • • AS 103, Quantitative Foundations began in Fall 2016. Modeled after UNIV 102, Quantitative Reasoning at UNM Structure was negotiated with Provost Goals: Keep students on Main Campus, curriculum tailored to student needs using Adaptive LEarning in Knowledge Spaces (ALEKS). All About Discovery! ™ New Mexico State University nmsu. edu
Other changes on Main Campus • • • Major revisions to curriculum of 120 Intermediate Algebra 121 G College Algebra 190 G Precalculus Overseen by Mary Ballyk (tenure track) and Abby Train (Math Success Center Director) • Substantial use of peer learning assistants; students actively engaged and accountable • Goal: Success in first course means very likely success in next course.

Variations, hypotheses and Questions • Corequisite models/accelerated paths: • Expect good results if Gen. Ed requirement fulfilled with next course. • Results may not be as good if multiple subsequent courses needed to meet G-requirement. All About Discovery! ™ New Mexico State University nmsu. edu
