TRANSCRIPT
Involves multiple large enrollment courses
Impacts 75+% of the students in a department
This usually requires redesigning < 5 courses Math dev math , college algebra, statistics Englishdev writing, comp 1, comp 2
What would it take for “College Redesign”? < 5departments and < 25 courses
University of Mississippi Cleveland State Community College Chattanooga State Community College
There are other examples Virginia TechUniversity of Alabama
Successful redesign projects often spread due to improved results and student demand
Redesigned through Business Calculus
Enrollment increased after redesign
Efficiency gains used to benefit doctoral program
3 Developmental Math Courses Basic Math, Elementary Algebra, Intermediate Algebra
6 College Level Math Courses College Algebra, Statistics, Finite Math Precalculus I, Precalculus II, Applied Calculus
1 Computer Labs, 4 Computer Classrooms 60 computer lab on main campus in Cleveland 35 computer classroom/lab on campus in Athens

After RedesignBefore Redesign
Continuous Enrollment Plan Students may start in any redesigned math course when they
finish the course they are currently enrolled in, without switching classes
Students add second class to schedule if they complete it 63 students completed multiple math courses in 2008-2009 50 of these exited developmental math in one semester 2 students completed 3 courses in one semester 1 student completed 4 courses in one semester
Back to the One Room Schoolhouse Low enrollment classes always a problem Solution: Two classes in same room at the same time New course offerings at all campuses in Fall 2009 Scheduling flexibility increase due to this strategy Creates an atmosphere of Math on Demand
2 Developmental Math Courses Basic Math/Elem. Algebra, Basic Math/Int. Algebra
8 College Level Math Courses Contemporary Math, College Algebra, Statistics Precalculus I, Precalculus II, Calculus I Business Statistics, Business Calculus
1 Computer Labs, 7 Computer Classrooms 200 computer lab on main campus 32 computer classroom/lab at off sites
