The quiz score average and median improved by 23.4% and62.5% respectively. The final set of improvements came as a result of the changes in the 2006 -2007 academic year linear circuits sequence. Here, there were significant changes made in thestructure of the sophomore courses, the amount of repetition of material, and a large emphasisplaced on challenging problems that required symbolic solutions.

Research findings indicated that a student’s persistence in mathematics coursescorrelated strongly with their liking mathematics and confidence in their mathematics skills10,11.However, other factors may influence a student’s attitude and motivation to persist.In our study, we will show that concern about financial issues, particularly maintaining financialaid, also has an
