Appended are a description of the program and a list of course offerings, as well as summative and formative evaluations of its success, including (1) a comparison of the characteristics of developmental students at Cochise with those of all U.S. college students; (2) the results of a followup study on employment of former developmental students; (3) a description of program costs; (4) an article entitled "What Mexican-Americans Remember About Beginning School;" (5) results of a survey of Cochise teachers as to the behavioral characteristics of a successful student; (6) results of a two-year study comparing college dropout rates of developmental students with those of the total student population; (7) results of a study to determine the correlation between absences and college grades; (8) an analysis of the course completion rate of developmental students; (9) results of a study of pre- and post-Nelson-Denny scores; and (10) results of a study of the college completion rate of high school graduates versus high school dropouts.
