Resource Library
Strong Start to Finish disseminates a variety of resources including research papers and “how-to” documents to practitioners in the field as they work to implement reforms. Here, you’ll find some of our collective knowledge.
Steps to Success
A New Approach for Mathematics
In this Steps to Success paper, we learn how all students at the University of Cincinnati are seeing greater success with a new approach to mathematics that places all students directly into credit math courses while simultaneously implementing a co-requisite model in five mathematics courses (College Algebra, Precalculus, Calculus, Calculus II, Applied Calculus) and revising
a quantitative reasoning course which would now integrate co-requisite course content (Foundations of Quantitative Reasoning).
