Suffolk County Community College Presentation Comments
Scott M, where do you think you went right with the growth in Hispanic and African-American students over the last two years?
Scott M- Great analysis and insights. Amazing changes over 5 years. I am wondering why you only looked at MET 103. Are there other courses in Met?

Scott M --Positive--Really like the scientist spotlight
Comment -- Is there any tracking for students going on to a 4 year?
Scott-- Numbers of women in Physics promising
Comment -- Is there tracking to see if students tend to stay with same sex professors? ie male student - male professor

Scott G - Great insights into the progression of students. I wonder if looking at other data such as mode of delivery, campus, etc. might help explain some of the things you are thinking about.

Yes. I also teach MET101 which is Intro to Weather a 4 cr lab science course. We do not have a specific climate change component in that course. I would not be able to include the extra workload for the Spotlight material. They have much already.

Scott M - the focused and direct action plan sounds great! Like the multiple components of it. And I am interested in the data showing I think increase in Hispanic participation in 2018 - do you have any ideas on what changed?
Scott G - lots of helpful info from the outcomes data. I"m wondering if you might add more metacognitive activities to theose intro courses?
Thanks to both of you!

Scott M. (Meteorology). I am impressed by your increase in student success rates. What is one thing that you have improved in your teaching practices that may have contributed to this success?
Scott G. (Physics). When looking at the African American poor success rates (

Affirmation: I like the spotlight homework assignment strategy. I think it will be effective.
Consideration: I would be interested to find out if the professional being interviewed came through the community college system. Also, I wonder if there is a question that would lead the professionals to talk about the types of support they received to become successful -- the importance of collaboration, help-seeking, etc. This might be helpful for students from collectivist cultures.
Scott G.
Affirmation: The analysis is very telling and valuable.
Questions: Have you worked with feeder high schools to recruit students? What strategies might be effective in reversing the trends that you found?

I included more videos which meant a bit less content. I also had them constantly ask "what is the context" for every lecture. And I finally gave in and posted brief "study guides" for every test that they had BEFORE the lectures to focus their notes.
Also rubrics for all written assignments and students have these up front.

From Don Barrie: For Scott (meteorology), your success rates show dramatic improvement over time! Can you share some specific strategies you've used to accomplish this?
For Scott (physics), you seem to have a sophisticated understanding of your demographic trends...you've clearly thought deeply about this :-)
For Scott (physics), might there be a way to cultivate science identity among groups who don't go on to take second-semester physics? Perhaps one issue is that students in these groups have trouble imagining themselves as future scientists.
