Title: Outcomes Assessment of Teaching Methods in Remedial Mathematics
Speaker: Judith Lee Baxter, University of Illinois at Chicago

The lower remedial mathematics course at UIC was taught in 1995-96 using four different pedagogies; we examined students' grades in subsequent mathematics courses. Two traditional lecture formats were more successful than two more time-intensive experimental methods. Some other observed features were independent of method; for example, no version of the lower course led to substantial success through the calculus level.
