Redesigning Developmental and College-Level Math
Resources for Developing a Redesign Plan in Mathematics
NCAT has developed a number of resources to support the redesign process based on the experience gained in prior course redesign programs. NCAT continues to refine its redesign methodology so that new institutions working with NCAT will benefit from the experience of those institutions which have implemented large-scale course redesigns in developmental and college-level mathematics.
