Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)

20% of CSU students received a failing grade in Calculus 1 between 2019 and 2021. As a required course for many STEM majors, Calculus 1 outcomes have an impact on many students. When staff discuss different teaching strategies and ways to use resources, it’s natural to compare failure rates between campuses. Different CSU campuses have different student populations, so a direct comparison of outcomes may be unfair. The proposed poster describes the process of designing an analysis that could carry out a standardized comparison of calculus outcomes across campuses. Attendees will be invited to interact with the poster by adding relevant variables and pathways with sticky notes and markers.
