Our students who are in Developmental studies receive the following
grades:
MA01 (Fundamental Mathematics -- Arithmetic) S(atisfactory),
U(nsatisfactory), W(ithdraw) or R(epeat)
MA06 (Fundamental Mathematics and Beginning Algebra) SA, SB, SC, U, W,
R where the SA, SB, SC indicate the "grade" along with the satisfactory
rank.
MA07 (Beginning Algebra) same grades as MA06
None of these grades counts for GPA or graduation credit.
I think that our "success" rate is about 60%.
> We were also told today that our Board of Trustees thinks that 61% is too low.
Wouldn't the BOT think that 95% is too low?
> On a lighter note, do you think Tiger Woods made the right decision leaving
> Stanford before getting his degree? ;-)
Let me think -- BIG bucks, GREEN Jacket, world records -- hmmmmmmm.
I hope that he has a good financial plan!
