2. Have you heard about it?

3. Do you know why redesign

4. Current success data

5. High attrition rates are a structural
problem
• For students who place two levels below a
college course there are 5 “exit points”
▫ Do they pass the first course
▫ Do they enroll in the next course?
▫ Do they pass the second course?
▫ Do they enroll in the college-level course?
▫ Do they pass the college-level course?
• Students placing three levels down have 7 exit
points.

6. Why high attrition rates are a
structural problem
▫ Do they pass the first course 63%
▫ Do they enroll in the next course? 80%
▫ Do they pass the second course? 63%
▫ Do they enroll in the college-level course? 80%
▫ Do they pass the college-level course? 63%
63% x 80% x 63% x 80% x 63%

7. Why high attrition rates are a
structural problem
▫ Do they pass the first course 63%
▫ Do they enroll in the next course? 80%
▫ Do they pass the second course? 63%
▫ Do they enroll in the college-level course? 80%
▫ Do they pass the college-level course? 63%
63% x 80% x 63% x 80% x 63%
.63 x .8 x .63 x .8 x .63 = 16%
