Feature: Facilitating Student Success: Eight-Week College Composition Corequisite Courses

This article details five primary steps used to increase student success in corequisite courses. From fall 2019 to fall 2023, Paris Junior College has observed a significant increase in the percentage of students who are successful in our corequisite program. In the fall of 2020, the success rate of corequisite students at PJC was 47 percent. Yet by fall 2023, that number was bolstered to an impressive 67 percent success rate of corequisite students. We contend that there are five components that account for the success of our students: identification of multiple measures, course design, pedagogical consistency, embedded course support, and speed of course delivery.
