Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine College Algebra and Composition I course retention rates of students enrolled in 5-week, time-compressed, face-to-face summer courses compared to traditional 16-week, face-to-face fall courses as a comparable course delivery method. The study used a non-experimental, quantitative design with statistical analysis employing a chi-square test of independence. The results of the study indicated that no statistically significant difference existed in course retention rates of 5-week, time-compressed, face-to-face summer courses compared to traditional 16-week face-to-face fall courses in either College Algebra or Composition I.
