I'm interested in hearing if you are finding that students right out of high
school and coming to the community college are unprepared to tackle college
level math courses. Many of these students report that they have taken 3 or
4 years of high school math, receiving B's or C's in these classes. Yet they
take the COMPASS placement test and receive scores that place them in the
lowest developmental class that we offer. Are you finding the same thing?
I'm interested in your responses.
