Historically, College Algebra at Eastern Michigan University (EMU) has had high enrollments and high DFWI rates. Hence, College Algebra is designated as a gateway course. In an effort to reduce the DFWI rates across all student demographics while paying particular attention to equitable outcomes, EMU has partnered with the Gardner Institute in the initiative Gateways to Completion. Here, we give a data-driven case study on the G2C College Algebra redesign and outcomes.
