Case Studies
Dallas Community College District–El Centro College, TX
El Centro College was faced with a student population that was not performing at the level it should have been; drop and failure rates were very high. Faculty were using software for basic math and prealgebra that was being funded through a grant. While the software was instrumental in helping students pass these courses, when the students advanced to the next sequence of courses the passing rates decreased rapidly.
After initially testing MyMathLab on a small group of students and then piloting the program with another instructor for several semesters, Sandy Wyche, instructor, saw how user-friendly and effective MyMathLab was for both students and instructors. The school adopted MyMathLab for Intermediate Algebra and College-Level Mathematics courses in spring 2003—to immediate success.
Since its adoption, MyMathLab has revolutionized the way El Centro students learn mathematics.
