Purpose: The purpose of the mathematics boot camp is to develop an innovative college algebra initiative to increase student success in college mathematics courses. This project is designed as a data-driven, inquiry-based exercise that incorporates realistic challenges of VUU and the surrounding communities.
Assignment: Data-analysis project on one of the topics outlined below: Demographics of the VUU Class of 2022: Students will analyze various descriptive data about their class (i.e., hometown, major, scholarship recipients, VUU legacy family, high school education (public, private, homeschool), family education history) Academic achievement in English in local school districts: Students will examine student success data in English from school districts in the greater Richmond community. Academic achievement in Mathematics in local school districts: Students will examine student success data in Mathematics from school districts in the greater Richmond community. Institutional Analyses: Students will analyze various descriptive data from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS), a national database for all colleges, universities, technical and vocational institutions that participate in the federal student financial aid programs.
Week 1: Foundational Mathematics concepts, Review of Data Sets and Projects Assignment 1: Organize into groups of 4-5 and select one of the aforementioned topics. Prepare 3-4 sentence rationale/explanation for why your group selected the topic.
