Course Completion and GPA
| 2013 | 2014 | 2015 | |
| Credit Hrs | 2148 | 2055 | 2610 |
| FTE Produced | 71.6 | 68.5 | 87 |
| Course Completion | 90.08% | 90.66% | 92.87% |
| Success Rates | 66.34% | 68.03% | 71.49% |
- AAA 101 Completion going back to 2009: 75.91
- AAA 101 Success going back to 2009: 71.81
- AAA 090 Completion going back to 2011: 71.52
- AAA 090 Success going back to 2011: 67.51
NOTE: Completion is anyone who completed AAA after Add/Drop, Success is students who passed the course with a C or higher
Key Questions: What do we want our 090 Completion and success rates to be? Is 72% completion and 68% success ideal? How do you we this will change with the adjustments to the 090 curriculum?
GPA past Add/Drop for completions, Withdraws not counting, but includes F’s
- AAA 101 average going back to 2009: 2.59, so it is higher for 2013 and 2014 than historical
- AAA 090 Average since 2011: 2.40, so it is similar to what is presented here.
Key Questions: What do we want AAA 090 GPA’s to be for completions? Do we have an issue with grade inflation or deflation? Should there be a AAA department conversation or standard related to grading? How do we encourage students to withdraw before failing?
Key Questions: Why are women doing better than men? Is this is a problem? Is their something about the course content, or instructor pedagogy, which contributes to this gap? Should we adjust pedagogy?
- For 101, white students have done better than Hispanic students for 4 out of 6 years.
- For 109/090, the gap between white and Hispanic students is smaller than 101; but for the past three years white and Hispanic students have done better than other students of color.
Note: This chart is confusing when displayed visually due to the cross-tabs. Racial identifiers set by IPEDS for consistent national data.
Key Questions: Why is the gap between Hispanic and White student success smaller in 109/090 than 101? Why do non-Hispanic students of color not do as well? Is their something about the course content, or instructor pedagogy, which contributes to this gap? Should we adjust pedagogy?
