Abstract

The hypotheses under investigation during the course of this study were as follows: 1. Students who complete the developmental reading course (ENG 04, Reading Improvement) at ESCC earn grades in the introductory computer course (IST 114, Fundamentals of Computer Information Systems) comparable to those students who did not need remediation. 2. The developmental reading course prepares the remedial reading students to comprehend the technical material required to complete the introductory computer course at a level comparable to those students who did not need remediation.
