Our University will change its policy regarding drops, withdrawals, and
academic penalties beginning next Fall. With this new policy, it would
really help students if the could make an informed decision in the first
one or two weeks of a course whether they would do well in it. So, I was
wondering if there exists a test that we can administer in the first week
of the first course of the algebra-based physics sequence that would
predict student success in the course. If there is such a test, we'd like
to try it out in the Spring and summer. Any help would be most appreciated.
If you can send this information to me at the email address below, I can
gather and post a summary in early next semester.
Thanks.
