In other words, we cannot conclude thatthe students who took ENGR194 have had a better performance (proportion of A and B grades) inMath181 in comparison with the students who did not take that course. Also, the results are notconclusive for the poor performance (category of D and F grades) in the same groups that meanstaking ENGR194 did not have a positive or negative impact on performance in Math 181.Therefore, we consider revising this module to offer ENGR194 course for the second time at theUniversity of Illinois at Chicago.
