Impact of Online Summer Mathematics Bridge Program on Placement Scores and Pass Rates
Frost, Jodi L.; Dreher, J. P.
Universal Journal of Educational Research, v5 n6 p1039-1044 2017
An online four-week summer mathematics bridge program was implemented at a Midwest university with historically low pass rates in College Algebra and Remedial Mathematics. Students who completed the four week program significantly increased their mathematics placement exam scores. These students also had a higher pass rate in their initial college mathematics course compared to the overall student population taking the same courses.
