The [[question]] that rises is whether successful completion of a remedial [[course]] guarantees students' success in [[college]]. The literature provides limited [[evidence]] for the effectiveness of remedial courses on outcomes such as [[persistence]] to [[graduation]], [[quality]] of performance in subsequent courses, and grade point average. Many researchers claim that very little research has been conducted to investigate the effectiveness of remedial or developmental education and that research concerning the effectiveness of remedial education programmes has been sporadic, underfunded, and inconclusive and has serious [[methodological]] flaws. Recently, efforts have been made to use more rigorous [[research]] designs (e.g. regression discontinuity design) to [[evaluate]] remedial effectiveness.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remedial_education]
