Forum Post
ASE’s increased teaching load and with an average of 20 hours per week, will decrease the pass rate in math lower level courses, resulting in lower retention. If TA’s don’t have time to finish grading assignments, take attendance, post notes on Canvas for those who miss classes, etc., fewer students will pass the courses. Take one student who does not pass trigonometry or a business calculus course that then drops out of WSU. WSU looses the tuition for that student for possibly 3 years.
