Abstract: Earlier studies at The University of Sydney indicate that students undertaking certain first year mathematics units in intensive mode of delivery (IMD) achieved superior learning outcomes compared to those completing the same units during the semester. The aim of this study is to survey students that took any undergraduate mathematics units offered in IMD over the period 2009-2016, asking them to compare summer school with semester learning environments. While data suggest that the learning environment is overwhelmingly in favour of summer school, there are features of both modes that appear to be successful. This leads to a flow-diagram, akin to Biggs’ Presage-Process-Product (3P) model, emphasising presage and temporality.

Abstract: In a study from 2008 to 2009, academics at the University of Sydney initiated the gathering and preliminary analysis of qualitative and quantitative evidence, supporting the claim that students undertaking first year mathematics units of study achieve superior learning outcomes, and experience higher overall course satisfaction, by completing units at summer school rather than during term-time. This article includes a follow-up study, focusing on two fundamental mathematics units of study taken by students at the University of Sydney over the period 2007 to 2014. We consider the relative performance of students who failed one or both of these units in term-time and then attempted the unit or units again at the Sydney Summer School. The median increase in numerical grades, in the order of ten to fifteen percentage points, appears to be significant, and often translates, in in idual cases, to one or more qualitative leaps upwards, from superficial towards deep learning, in terms of phases in the SOLO taxonomy, or in terms of successful navigation through liminal space, in the theory of threshold concepts.
