ABSTRACT

A Personalized Before Calculus Program to strengthen skills for engineering students at Texas A&M University was presented at ICTCM Conference 2011, but at that time, limited data was available. Data is now available from student interviews, student and tutor evaluations of the program, and Mathematics Placement Exam scores before and after the intervention. Next steps to analyze data from Calculus 1 classes are discussed.
