Grade retention

of being a college student are high. We lead stressful lives but exercising is one of the best ways to deal with it. I get it, at times I even feel like good grades outweigh the motivation to go to the gym. What if I told you getting good grades and working out went hand in hand? In other words: Exercising would help you get better grades. “College students who visit their campus gyms are more likely to succeed in the classroom”, according to data from Purdue University. Students who are…

the academic and professional community. There is a relationship between reading speed and retention when one holds the assumption that reading faster is better (McLaughlin, 1969; Smith, 1975). The capability of reading faster is possible but the quality of retaining the information read is variable (McLaughlin, 1969). The average person reads 200-250 words per minute (WPM) for upper intermediate grades and 300-350 WPM for adults with 70-80% comprehension accuracy (Carver, 1983; Lauer, 2008;…

There are also many downsides to this new technology as it invades many student’s privacy without their knowledge as it goes beyond tracking students’ performance in schools.…

federal policy, and the participants are provided services in supporting the college application process, such as preparation for college entrance exams. Another important aspect the programs focuses on is tutoring. This can help students increase their grade point averages. In 2007, there were currently 774 Upward Bound programs in operation in the United States (Council for Opportunity in Education), and I hope we continue to see this number increase today.

Maximizing myself during study time is something I had never honestly spent time working towards. Having had good grades all through high school I was never really concerned with improving my mediocre study habits. But after hearing the ridiculous amount of change that the Pomodoro technique can have I am all ready to give some new studying techniques a shot. In the past I have always chosen to give myself some huge amount of time one evening to finish a task, to sit down for 5 hours with all…

disadvantages and student involvement (Carter, 2006). Research conducted by Bean and Eaton (2000), suggest that the combination of the students background and their interaction in the collegiate environment are both factors that contribute to retention. Students from backgrounds that include immigrants or English as a second language may face a difficult time adjusting to the higher education setting. Recent studies have indicated that the lack of student engagement among community college…

Next I believe efficiency would improve because board members would only be focusing the EPS at that time. With the appointment of a single board for each grade of the EPS, standard evaluation criteria can be established by the board. All packets would be evaluated by the same individuals and judged for accuracy, fairness, and completeness. If there were unquantifiable or inflated evaluations that category…
