MATH STAMPEDE Recruitment Letter

Dear Students,

We are excited to introduce a Marshall University College of Science program, known as MATH STAMPEDE, which will explore how well ALEKS PPL, a math placement program, helps students succeed in freshman-level math courses. Get ready with assessments and personalized learning, get placed at the right level, and get ahead by testing into a higher class—saving time and money. Your final grades from Fall and/or Spring math courses will help us evaluate its impact.

What is ALEKS PPL?
It’s a powerful, web-based tool that includes:

  • An Initial Placement Assessment (25 questions, 60–90 minutes)
  • Personalized Prep and Learning Module tailored to your needs
  • Up to 4 additional Proctored Placement Assessments to improve your placement

Why Participate?
By joining MATH STAMPEDE, you’ll not only strengthen your math foundation, you might also place into a higher-level course, helping you graduate sooner and reduce tuition costs. Plus, your participation helps us evaluate how effective ALEKS PPL is in supporting student success.

How to Get Started:  Respond to this email indicating interest.  Don’t wait too long!  Only 200 free licenses are available.  After that, the cost is $25.

We’re here to support you every step of the way as you STAMPEDE into college with confidence and stronger math skills!
