City College’s math department has proposed two new courses to take the place of the three-course set of classes that offer entry into Statistics 300, in hopes of giving students a better path to meeting transfer and degree requirements.

These courses are part of Math 299, Experimental Offering in Mathematics, and will offer instructions in pre-algebra and algebra for statistics.

The new courses aim to help students in completing their degrees quicker by cutting the amount of semesters needed, hopefully decreasing the number of students dropping out.

“Sometimes students drop classes not because the material is academically difficult or because they don’t have the study skills, but because something happens in their life that causes them to drop out of school,” says City College professor Rick Woodmansee. “And when they can get their courses done in fewer semesters, that sort of thing is less likely to happen, and they’re more likely to be successful.”

While many believe these classes could help lower the number of students dropping out, some believe that the lack of time spent on the material could adversely affect students.

“You need everything you learn in the previous classes leading up to the 300 level math,” says City College student Mitchell King. “And if you have to go through a condensed course, I don’t think you’ll retain the information as well.”

While these courses have not yet been approved for the fall 2016 semester, they are being voted on March 18, when the City College Curriculum Committee members will either approve or reject these new courses. They will then be sent to the Los Rios District for approval before the math department can implement them.

If the classes are approved, they will be included in the fall 2016 semester, according to Woodmansee.
