Preparatory Pathways and STEM Calculus Completion: Implications of the AB 1705 Standards, Technical Appendices
RP Group
This technical appendix accompanies the report, "Preparatory Pathways and STEM Calculus Completion: Implications of the AB 1705 Standards." The appendices contain a full methods section and multivariate analyses that augment the descriptive analyses presented in the report. Together, these analyses examined a cohort of more than 37,000 STEM majors who began in a transfer-level course in a calculus pathway at a California community college between 2012-2013 and 2019-2020 to determine -- based on their high school math preparation and high school GPA -- the implications of AB 1705 standards in practice. The law sets standards for students' placement and first math enrollment to ensure STEM students begin in transfer-level coursework that best positions them to complete calculus requirements for their programs.
