Why was only developmental math used in the model and not developmental writing?
Lane has recently (spring/summer of 2007) revised not only the writing test score processes, but also the instruments themselves. These changes were made to more accurately place students in writing classes. Because the model requires four years of analysis from the initial cohort, the first cohorts to be analyzed were F00, F01, F02 and F03. The model could not accurately reflect the outcomes analysis of the groups using writing test scores and subsequent completion of writing classes before Summer/Fall of 2007. Since the math test scores have been stable over this time period, only math test scores were used. The Fall 2007 cohort would be the first cohort for which writing test scores could be used to determine in which of the four groups each student belonged: 1) students who were college-ready at first enrollment, 2) students needing developmental math who completed all developmental math requirements, 3) students yet to complete their developmental math requirements and 4) all stud
