Tracking Student Success in Order to Assess the Instructor Effectiveness to Improve Student Retention and Graduation Rates
This paper explores the metric of follow-on student success that can be considered when evaluating an instructor’s effectiveness. The metric is the follow-on course success rate which should be useful in engineering since many fundamental courses are prerequisites to follow-on courses. For example, students who pass thermodynamics 1 should be able to pass thermodynamics 2. The data shows that the follow-on success rate depends on the instructor who teaches the first course. As more universities focus on student retention and graduation rates, they should investigate metrics to gauge how well an instructor prepares students for subsequent academic success. This paper looks at course follow-on success rate in a two-semester sequence of thermodynamics courses.Cockrell School of Engineerin
Isolated Singularities of Polyharmonic Inequalities
We study nonnegative classical solutions of the polyharmonic inequality
in a punctured neighborhood of the origin in . We give
necessary and sufficient conditions on integers and such that
these solutions satisfy a pointwise a priori bound as .Comment: 18 page
