All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects
This quantitative study explored questions developed to (a) help improve the quality of retention and satisfaction services at a comprehensive public university in the Midwest as well as to (b) contribute to the knowledge base by providing a broader application to similar institutions seeking to improve these services.

Student Examination Performance Predictors: The Cramming Study Strategy And Examination Format, Andrea Haberman

Little to no research has been conducted to determine whether cramming is engaged in response to a given exam format. This author concludes from a review of …

Effectiveness Of The Whytry Curriculum With Adults Participating In A Vocational Training Program, Erika Kern
All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects

The curriculum has elements of Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Social and Emotional Intelligence, and multi-sensory learning (WhyTry, 2011). My research question is as follows: Is the WhyTry curriculum effective in increasing self-esteem and self-efficacy with adults who are participating in a vocational training program? …

Diversity Within Bachelor Of Social Work Programs: Perspectives And Interventions, Brian Warner
All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects

With the ever changing ethnic and racial make-up of the United States, it is imperative that social work educators are able to convey the differences and/or challenges that working with diverse individuals will present. One of the easiest and most direct ways for this to occur is for the student body itself to be diverse. Yet, many social work programs have remained ethnically and racially …
