Grant Summary

$200,000 over 30 months to use existing data to implement two distinct programmatic interventions that have as their aim the improvement of students' quantitative reasoning literacy and skills. Willamette will integrate quantitative reasoning modules into existing courses across the curriculum, with a special emphasis on courses not typically viewed as being quantitative in their focus. Lewis & Clark will develop a quantitative reasoning course, as well as data-based strategies for identifying incoming students who would most likely benefit from such a course. The institutions will meet regularly over the duration of the project to discuss their progress, process, outcomes, and assessment results.
