Description
In recent years, the growing number of incoming freshmen who struggle with math placement has led to concerns about retention and on-time graduation rates for students in physics and engineering. To address these issues, VCU Physics recently changed the math requirements for our calculus-based “University Physics” sequence. In this talk, I will share early findings on student performance following this change and discuss how these outcomes compare with our expectations.
