This fits into the strategy we have classified as, guiding rule. Then, basedon this criterion, she could eliminate the unlikely answer choice, thereby demonstrating aprocess of elimination.

What is the ultimate successful graduation rate?The GEE 103 course should be developed to better gauge success in the pre-engineeringprogram. Class exercises need to be more frequent with better accountability from students toreflect academic expectations in an introductory engineering course. Though these exerciseswill not have academic rigor, they should be better structured to substantiate success andfailure rates. Further work will need to be done to develop a working protocol to predictsuccess for students in pre-engineering.References[1] T. A. Lacey, B.
