This April, James Willis and Kinga Oliver joined the ranks as recipients of the Innovation of the Year Award at the College Faculty Awards Ceremony.
\nThe pair received the award for their project entitled \u201cMathematical Pathway to Success for Art Majors.\u201d
\nAs it stands, the U.S. Department of Education revealed through a study, compared to students who do not require remedial education, only about 27 percent of the students enrolled in remedial math earn a bachelor\u2019s degree.
\n<\/p>\n
Students who do not require remedial education have a completion rate of 58 percent\u2014more than double the success rate than remedial students.
\nThe Department of Education also requires Sinclair to report graduation rates publicly. These statistics are available online on Sinclair\u2019s website, which reads: \u201cAs of fall 2013, of the 2,314 first-time, full-time, degree-seeking students who entered Sinclair in fall 2010, 72 percent had graduated, were still enrolled at Sinclair, had transferred to another college or university or left Sinclair in good standing.\u201d
\n265 students graduated within 150 percent of the normal time of completion for certificates and degrees, a rate of just over 11 percent.
\n \u201cWhen am I going to use this? Why do I have to learn math if I\u2019m an art major?\u201d
\nThese are the questions that revolve around the difficulties some college students face when fulfilling degree requirements in broad categories and, specifically courses outside their major.
\nThe Oliver and Willis project takes on those difficulties faced by diverse students in non-STEM pathways, seeking to provide them with an alternative to the traditional circus of several semesters\u2019 worth of My Math Lab.
\n\u201cThe goal of the program is to address this challenge, while continuing to deliver a high level of student learning,\u201d reads the project description.
\nOliver and Willis helped develop 65 lessons in what is called the Quantitative Literacy pathway.
\nThere is a strong real world emphasis in the program. Social, citizenship, medical literacy and health risk environment and finance make up the project\u2019s core.
\nStudents can enroll in summer courses now until May 11 when on-time registration ends. Registration for Fall 2015 semester is now open and ends, for on-time registration, August 17.
\nClasses resume for fall semester August 24. For more information visit the Sinclair website or visit the New Student Enrollment Center on the fourth floor of Building 10.
