Thank you Dolores. If anyone can point me to specific studies on class size and developmental reading/writing that would be helpful!

Much of the literature today supports a cap on developmental classes. We have had a lot of success with ENG 101 SWW. (supplemental writing workshop). Though this course is a 3 credit class, students must attend five hours of instruction. Three hours in class, one hour in a workshop and one hour working one on one with a professional writing tutor.
