Page: 1324
The results presented here offer preliminary insights into the course patterns and academic achievement of students taking entry-level math courses at Johns Hopkins University (JHU) from Fall 2017 through Fall 2021. First, we used students’ math placement exam results and end-of- semester grades in their first math course to predict academic achievement when considering whether students followed their placement recommendation. Second, we compared trends in placement data and academic achievement of students taking math courses at JHU before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.
