Howdy, long time no blog.
For a number of reason, mainly professional. Anyway, based on some questions and
suggestions from math friends around the country (most notably Kate Owens, @katemath)
I have written up a series of blog posts detailing how we took our entire
department across four campuses into a co-req model for mathematics developmental
education. I have shared it here across
five posts, mainly because as I started writing, it kept growing! As always, if you have questions, comments,
etc, let me know.

Or
I normally don’t like putting these things up, as it should
be clear (in my mind) that a personal blog is, well, personal. BUT, since I am talking about my college and
the entire department, I have a disclaimer below. If you are interested in our numbers, or
details about the administrative side of how or why we did things, contact me
and I can put you in touch with the right people here at Blinn who can discuss
things further with you.
Disclaimer:
Please note this is a personal blog, and for this discussion about co-req sutff
is mostly anecdotal about my experience.
Any data cited is only from my particular classes, none of which was
from a controlled study or an official college source. Also in all of this, I will freely admit that
this has been a learning curve for me also.
I think I am doing better now compared to when we first started, but
what data I can gather is mixed. (The
Institutional Research part of Blinn is very weak, so getting any useful data
is difficult at best.)
