CSBS Student Success Efforts: GradesFirst & Math Tutoring Chin-hsin Liu, Anthropology, CSBS
CSBS Student Success Efforts Q1. What are some variables that most heavily impacted course performance? GradesFirst Campaign: Participating instructors alerted the Student Success Team (SST) at W2, W5, and W10 if a student showed early sign(s) of being at risk of failing (< C-). SST then attempted contact and intervention. Guiding Questions Q2. How effective is Math Lab Tutoring Service (Bayramian Hall) in improving course performance?
Data Sources Lists of alerts for SP & FA 18: number & timing of alerts (W2/5/10); reason(s); contact attempts & results; grade earned Results SP18 (n=83) + FA18 (n=169)= 252 Passing rate= 40% 120 failed passed GradesFirst Alerts Q1 100 80 # of students # times alerted 60 40 20 0 alerted x 1 alerted x 2 alerted x 3 80 failed passed 60 # of students reasons alerted Top early warning signs: 1. Low/failed scores 2. Missing homework 3. Excessive absences 40 20 0 miss hwk & low/fail score low/fail score exc abs & miss hwk & low/fail score
Data Sources Lists of CSBS students enrolled in MATH196QR for SP & FA 18 who visited the BH Math Lab Tutoring Service: times visited, grade earned Results Tutored & Passed Course Passed Rate 33% 56% (n=1192) 67% FA18 67% (n=55) Math Tutoring Q2 SP18 0% (n=7) 63% (n=272) Total 60% (n=62) 57% (n=1464) 40 passed failed 30 # of students 20 10 0 1-3 4-6 7-10 11-15 16-20 21+ # of times tutored Tutored more often did not improve course performance.
GradesFirst Campaign Improve communication between students & instructors; provide effective study & note-taking strategy (possibly by peer mentors) BH Math Lab Tutoring Service Embed tutoring plans to best utilize resources (# of tutors, appt availability) and to increase equity in course success Concluding Thoughts CSBS Student Success Team (SST) Efforts Increase resources (e.g., staff, peer-mentors) available to the SST to persistently implement multi-prong early intervention strategies Increase exposure of the SST efforts to students and faculty to best align resources and student success goals
