  5. Variables compared to A’s & F’s

  6. Place designations

  7. Correlations table

  8. Factors impacting skills test

  9. Conclusions from the first research project • No significant difference between resource poor and resource rich • ACT score statistically significant • Accounts for 20% of the model of A’s & F’s • Model does not predict failure well

  10. The second research project: What in course behaviors identify good students? • 385 students who accepted their test out exam grade • 398 students who completed the class • Fall 2010 (is this right? Seems too low)

  11. Students who tested out - 385 • Variables compared to Test Out score • Pre-test • Number of sessions • Session time • Total time • Mail sent • Mail read

  12. Regression analysis with all variables

  13. Only two significant variable

  14. Pre-Test is best, but…

  15. Full term students - 398 • Variables compared to Total Points • Pre-test • Number of sessions • Session time • Total time • Mail sent • Mail read

  16. Results of the regression analysis

  17. Insignificant factors
