Hurdle, Zachariah Benton; Mogilski, Wiktor – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2022
We conducted a quantitative analysis to determine how the prerequisite path of students taking calculus I impacts their grade performance. We began by investigating the performance of students that took college algebra and trigonometry versus those that took pre-calculus ahead of their credit-bearing calculus I attempt. We concluded that there was…

Brie Tripp; Sherri Cozzens; Catherine Hrycyk; Kimberly D. Tanner; Jeffrey N. Schinske – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2024
STEM undergraduates navigate lengthy sequences of prerequisite courses covering volumes of science content. Given that these courses may contribute to attrition and equity gaps in STEM, research is needed to test the assumption that prerequisite content benefits students in their future studies and careers. We investigated the relevance of…

Nanda, Gaurav; Douglas, Kerrie A.; Waller, David R.; Merzdorf, Hillary E.; Goldwasser, Dan – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2021
There is a large variation in background and purpose of massive open online course (MOOC) learners. To improve the overall MOOC learning experience, it is important to identify which MOOC characteristics are most important for learners. For this purpose, in this article, we analyzed about 150,000 open-ended learner responses from 810 MOOCs to…
