<p><b>HI,</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><b>I need some help! Please forward to your advisors as you see fit. </b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u>What is happening</u></b><br>
We have noticed that students have been accepting their initial math placement <br>
(based on SAT/ACT or the lack of such a score) and that few have been taking the <br>
ALEKS PPL test, even when the Next Steps Center messaging encourages them to do so.
<br>
Many of these students are using SAT/ACT scores that are old, <br>
but they have taken more math in the mean time. Indeed we have seen some students
<br>
who anticipate strong AP scores for calculus but who have accepted placement in math 100.
<br>
<br>
<u>What are we doing? <br>
</u>The Math Department is contacting students who already participated in orientation to encourage<br>
students to take the PPL test if their SAT/ACT placement is "low". We are also messaging students<br>
about 5 days prior to their orientation date to recommend the test if their SAT/ACT placement is
<br>
below their foundation math course. <br>
<br>
<b><u>What you can do?</u></b><br>
You can help your majors by encouraging them to take the placement test in the <br>
Next Steps Center if they have not already done so. This is especially important
<br>
for students whose placement without the test seems low for their major or background.
<br>
There is no additional cost for the first test-- the only cost to the student is the
<br>
time spent on the test.<br>
<br>
<u>At orientation</u><br>
If a student has completed a high school precalculus or calculus course, a placement into<br>
Math 100, Math 112, or even Math 120R might be too low. If you can fit it into your<br>
presentation, please encourage any student who places into Math 100, 112 or 120R (for
<br>
the calculus majors) via SAT/ACT to take the PPL test . Who knows, maybe some can skip a<br>
math class. <span class="moz-smiley-s1">:-)</span><br>

<br>
Thank you!<br>
