| Abstract: | A key goal in developmental education has been optimizing student success in future college-level classes. This study compared three sections of a problem-based collaborative learning pilot course of Intermediate Algebra to the original course section at a four-year public liberal arts college. The pilot course differed from the original course in three main areas: structure, content, and assessments. Results showed that student performance and satisfaction with the pilot course did not differ significantly from the usual course but that success in College Algebra the following semester was significantly higher among students from the pilot course sections, especially for Native Americans.
