There are some students here that want get their credits and transfer. I just think that it'll be a little bit harder for them since they raised the score.

Angela Thomas - Child Development

I feel like it's a good change because it makes you step outside of your comfort zone and makes you think a little bit more, and makes you strive for what you really want. It's better to take basics first because you don't want to get into something that's too hard and then be stuck and feel like you can't do it.

Josh Smetana - Business

It encourages students to work harder in high school English and stay focused longer than to get into a different English. There are probably people now that get into Comp 1 right now that don't know what they're doing; it encourages students to be more diligent in what they're doing.

Chris Baca - Engineering

I don't see a point in raising the score. I don't see that there is much of a gap of people; that just forces more people into the remedial. classes and I don't believe that makes much of a difference.

Raja Faris - Transfer Resources Coordinator, ACC

If whatever tool we use identifies that the student would be better served by a remedial course, that's probably the way we need to go. I really think the English department is doing this so students build that foundation to ensure that whether they go beyond comp 1 or literature courses, that they have that foundation to ensure success rather than going into a credit course that they may stumble which affects GPA.
