Many colleges and universities struggle with gateway course reform despite years of effort. Partial implementations, limited faculty buy-in, and resource constraints often lead to cycles of stalled progress. This can lead to frustration about the complexity of change, skepticism about existing redesign efforts, and gaps in critical student outcomes like retention and graduation rates.

Retention matters…if we can retain five students, we’ve paid for the work.

We were able to make changes across the board, not just in Statistics, but in College Algebra and in the developmental math courses. That’s going to pay dividends for several years.
