| الملخص: | Almost all German universities complain that the math skills of
students entering the higher education system do not equal the math
skills that are demanded by the universities. To bridge the gap, almost
all universities offer some remedial math courses. However, there is
only weak empirical evidence for the effectiveness of these courses in
Germany. This paper aims to fill this gap by evaluating some math
bridging courses given at the Economics Department of the University
of Kassel. A key finding: taking a math bridging course on a regular
basis will enhance students' math skills and increase the probability of
passing the final math exam by 35 percent. |
