New Results fy hh ener Since the 1978-79 school year, when the Developmental Math course started, students with deficiencies in math were helped in building their skills in troubled areas. Ms. Barbara Murray, instructor of Developmental Math stated that stu- dents with large deficiencies in math had to take the Competency Test over and over.
