Developmental Math Market Survey Fall 2024

Thank you for your willingness to provide us with valuable information and feedback. Please answer all questions as they relate to your experience with developmental-level math courses. For the purposes of this survey, consider "developmental math" to be courses that range from arithmetic up through intermediate algebra (or algebra 2) - courses that prepare students to then take College Algebra, Liberal Arts Math, Finite Math, etc.

Question Title

* 1. At what type of institution do you teach?

2-year community college

4-year public college/university

4-year private college/university

No longer teaching

Other (please specify)

Question Title

* 2. Which developmental math courses does your institution currently offer? If you don't offer developmental math courses, thank you for your willingness to participate, but this survey will not be relevant to you.

Basic math

Prealgebra (like basic math but with early algebra and integers)

Introductory algebra

Intermediate algebra

A non-stem pathways course (such as prestatistics, math literacy, etc)

A course that combines one or more of these (e.g. teaching introductory and intermediate algebra in one semester)

A corequisite support or learning support course that covers developmental topics

Other (please specify)

Question Title

* 3. Which developmental math courses do you personally regularly teach? If you haven't taught developmental math within the last 3 years, thank you for your willingness to participate, but this survey will not be relevant to you.

Question Title

* 4. If you answered the above with a ‘A course that combines one or more of these’ can you share more about what this course is called, and which course areas it combines? If you didn't select this, just write N/A.

Question Title

* 5. About how many sections of each developmental math course do you offer? (If you're not sure, it's ok to say that too!)

Question Title

* 6. Do you see the number of sections of developmental math you offer increasing, decreasing, or staying the same? If applicable, do you have any idea why this is?

Question Title

* 7. Is anything about your developmental math curriculum/courses offered changing in the near future that you know of? (For instance, eliminating a course or re-evaluating topics taught in a course). If so, please tell us how you anticipate it changing.

Question Title

* 8. Does your school offer any kind of "bootcamp" or "bridge course" that is not a full semester, intended to get students up to speed to take their next course? (E.g. an arithmetic bootcamp before they take beginning algebra, or a general developmental bridge course to see if they can place into college algebra.)

Yes, we have some type of bootcamp or bridge course

We don't now, but it's something we plan to add

We don't now, but I'm interested to learn more

Nothing like this right now, no plans
