Project Advance Evaluation. Series B 1974-75.
Chapman, David; And Others
Project Advance is a cooperative program between Syracuse University and New York State school districts. Selected courses, developed and implemented in the university by cooperating academic departments and the Center for Instructional Development, are piloted on campus and then offered for both high school and university credit in participating high schools as part of their regular school programs. Students are charged a modest overhead fee for the course and receive regular Syracuse University credit, which is widely transferable to other colleges and universities throughout the country. The courses are part of the regular teaching load of the high school teachers, who attend special university training workshops and seminars and teach the course under the supervision of university faculty. The grading standards for the course are identical both on and off campus. The project has expanded since its implementation in 1973 from 400 to 3,400 students in 58 schools. Conclusions are presented regarding: description of students; project helpfulness in college admissions; transfer of academic credit; academic achievement prediction; student expectations of college; enrollment and distribution of grades; and priorities of students, parents, and school personnel.
