>What prompted you to offer such a course?

>What level of support did you have in your department?

>Did you begin this type of course offering as a pilot or was it
>offered for all classes?
>
>How did you place your students?
>
>Have you done any tracking of your students in college algebra?
>
>Did you encounter any problems?
>
>What text did you use?

>I f you could any of these questions or provide any other
