The initial results of this effort indicate that fewerstudents enrolled in calculus their first semester (with more starting off in precalculus) and thewithdrawal rate for both calculus 1 and precalculus have dropped significantly. Shockingly,this project was taken on without analyzing student data beforehand (other than the examina-tion of success rates).Research Questions 1) Does placement exam score, academic level, gender, whether the student is a STEM (Science Technology Engineering or Math) major, and the number of times the student attended tutoring during the semester affect student scores in calculus in college? 2) Does a student’s anxiety of math correlate with
