In this case, 3 of the 6 students taking both received aC or better in one of the two courses and only had to retake the other course. Of those 3students, two persisted in the program in the Spring 2010 semester and received a grade of C orbetter in the class that they had not succeeded in during the Fall 2009 semester, and advanced toCalculus I in the Fall 2010 semester.
