Illingworth Sent: Thursday, October 26, 2006 4:12 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Developmental class size First off, check the NADE standards. They have published standards for class sizes for developmental classes. I picked up my copy at a NADE conference from H&H publishing. I'm at home now and not at work so I can't give you the page numbers. I'll have to ask my Math colleagues for the math backup. Also, I'll dig around in my old files and see if I can find the English composition references. So, there are 2 sources: 1 is NADE and the other is from the specific discipline. Ron Ronald D.
