Park-Gaghan, Toby J.; Mokher, Christine G.; Hu, Xinye; Spencer, Hayley; Hu, Shouping – Educational Researcher, 2020
Florida's Senate Bill 1720 allowed many students to bypass developmental education and enroll directly in introductory college-level courses. We use an interrupted time series design to introductory college-level courses enrollment and passing rates in English and math for three cohorts of college students prereform and three cohorts postreform.…
