similar pedagogical approachwhich included devoting class time to solving problems, working in small groups, facilitated bythe lead instructor and a learning assistant. In subsequent semesters, all calculus instructors haveopted in to the common, coherent approach to the course (except for those teaching online orhonors sections).Pass and withdrawal rates pre and post implementation reveal an increase in pass rate of 13.4%and a drop in withdrawal rate of 3.9% as a result of the project. Results from anonymous facultysurveys show that faculty in the project changed their teaching practices in Calculus, that theyobserved positive effects of this in their classrooms, that they took advantage of the FLC to learnfrom their colleagues and that their

othermodules. And, in addition, it often turns out that bridging courses are attended mainly by thewell prepared and most hard working students, who never miss a chance to learn somethingextra (see e.g. Sazhin12).Some universities attempt to cope with the different levels of mathematical preparedness bystreaming their students and teaching the weaker group separately, sometimes using theservices of experienced school teachers rather than university lecturers. In order to cover thesame syllabus as the stronger group it may be necessary to increase contact hours for theweaker group13. Page 26.410.16Amongst the range of strategies for coping with a serious
