In corequisite models of instruction, marginally prepared students are placed directly into college-level coursework, taught with a paired support course.

The present study employs qualitative methods to investigate methods of instruction at one community colleges to understand how instructors identify and respond to student needs. It concludes with recommendations for practice and highlights advantages of small format corequisite classes taught by the same instructor
