Identifying Barriers to Success in First Year College Mathematics Courses
Page: 1466
This poster presents results of a study designed to identify barriers to success for students enrolled in first year mathematics courses at a private university in the northeastern United States. The author presents results of pre- and post-surveys looking at students' experiences in both their prior and college mathematics courses. Responses will be analyzed along with student grades and attendance data, to attempt to identify common factors in students who are successful and in those who are unsuccessful in their first year math courses.
