We suspected that these factors might havecontributed to the gap in performance between these two groups of students.To address the letter grade performance, we divided the Calculus I course into two sections, withone section of the course exclusively for those students who have not had calculus in highschool. The other section was comprised of students who were re-taking calculus. Both sectionswere taught by a faculty member in a large lecture format, meeting three days per week with arecitation section taught by a teaching assistant. The syllabus for the two sections of the course,the homework assignments and the final examination were identical. The median grade for bothsections of the course was a B- in the first year

problem contexts that students would encounter in appliedscenarios. However, this idealized practice schedule can be at odds against the demands of thecourse syllabus schedule. The breadth of concepts that a ChE course must cover in its syllabus, especially one thatis part of the core curriculum, limits both the amount of time and instructional strategies thatlesson plans or homework can prescribe to a particular concept[2], [3]. This in turn can detractfrom students’ targeted practice on a particular concept to either not sufficiently demonstrate allcontexts or attempt to do too much at once within problems that can then strain the number ofcognitive tasks students can successfully complete[4].

It is critical that adjunct instructors be mentored to ensure the course isconsistent from semester-to-semester.
