A COMMUNITY COLLEGE CO-REQUISITE MATHEMATICS CLASS THROUGH THE LENS OF MATHEMATICS ANXIETY

Students at community colleges, particularly those taking developmental courses, have among the highest concentrations of mathematics anxiety at any educational level. Most students referred to pre-requisite remedial courses do not successfully complete them. Consequently, many community colleges have changed to the co-requisite model for mathematics support to shorten the path to mathematics course completion. With little research focused on community colleges and the relatively new co-requisite model, there is a lack of research in these areas.
