Zusammenfassung:The purpose of this study was to evaluate Multiple Measures Placement policies and the Developmental Education Redesign in community colleges in North Carolina by examining success rates, persistence rates, and demographic characteristics. This study employed a causal-comparative, nonexperimental research design. Comparison groups came from two cohorts of developmental students, fall to fall: 2011-2012 (Cohort 1, before the redesign), and fall to fall: 2016-2017 (Cohort 2, after redesign). Overall, the results indicated that success rates and persistence rates have not improved in math, and only success rates have improved for Multiple Measures students in English courses. Furthermore, demographic characteristics did impact the success of some students.
