Data shows that when a gateway course has a high DFW rate, it disproportionately affects minoritized, poverty-affected, and first-generation student populations, negatively impacting their abilities to complete degree programs and further worsening inequity within the institution.
Some professors wore high failure rates with pride, claiming them as a sign of rigor.
High DFW Rates courses typically include courses such as chemistry, physics, foreign language, calculus, writing courses, and accounting.
These courses “kill” a student’s GPA, confidence, motivation, academic progress, scholarship eligibility, and interest in remaining in college. These courses also discourage people from attempting those courses or majors which include those courses.
