Everyone Is Anxious: A Narrative For Admissions Professionals, Students, And Parents, On College Admissions And Anxiety, Sarah Hecklau
Everyone Is Anxious: A Narrative For Admissions Professionals, Students, And Parents, On College Admissions And Anxiety, Sarah Hecklau
Graduate College Dissertations and Theses
Written in the Scholarly Personal Narrative (SPN) style of writing, this thesis explores my personal experience as a college admissions counselor. It offers a reflection of my own college search and application experience, my perspective on the experience of today's high school students, and my professional experience working within an admissions office. The juxtaposition of these three perspectives alongside scholarly references on higher education, philosophy, and anxiety, provides a full-spectrum view of the college admissions process.
The core topic of this reflection is anxiety, and showing how each party experiences anxiety in the college search, application, and selection process. Other …
African American Male College Students' Experience Of College Preparation, Linda Denice Valentine-Cobb
African American Male College Students' Experience Of College Preparation, Linda Denice Valentine-Cobb
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
African American male students have a high risk of not completing high school and not going to college. Students receive some college preparation as early as middle school, yet it is not enough to increase the number of African American male high school or college graduates. The purpose of this phenomenological study was to describe what 18-24-year-old African American male college students recalled from middle school and high school about college preparation, college planning, and college attendance. Critical race theory was used to reveal how outside factors such as oppression, racism, or socioeconomic status prevent African American male students from …
Relationships Among Student Type, Gpa, And Retention Within A Proprietary Career College, Steven Charles Parker-Young
Relationships Among Student Type, Gpa, And Retention Within A Proprietary Career College, Steven Charles Parker-Young
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Researchers have suggested that the college student population in the United States is evolving and the number of nontraditional students is rising. New student retention and academic success were ongoing concerns at a college in the southern United States and the association of those outcomes with instructional delivery model and student type was not known. In an effort to improve new student outcomes, this study examined differences in first-quarter student retention and academic success, as measured by GPA, for courses taught strictly online or on campus, and for traditional versus nontraditional students. Guided by Bean and Metzner's conceptual model of …
Students' Perceptions Of Persistence In A Florida Associate Degree Nursing Program, Shivanie Saith
Students' Perceptions Of Persistence In A Florida Associate Degree Nursing Program, Shivanie Saith
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
At a community college in Florida, the associate of science in nursing (ASN) program has experienced low persistence rates especially after the first semester of study. Framed by Jeffreys's nursing undergraduate retention and success model, a mixed-method approach was used to investigate first-semester and final-year ASN students' perceptions of factors influencing persistence and successful persistence strategies. In the quantitative sequence, first-semester students (N = 95) completed the Student Perception Appraisal-Revised-2 (SPA-R2) survey measuring perceptions of 5 persistence factors (environmental, institutional integration, personal academic, college academic, and friend support persistence). ANOVA and t tests were conducted by age, gender, language, ethnicity, …
Student Satisfaction With A Student-Written Textbook In An Introductory College Biology Course, Greg Peters
Student Satisfaction With A Student-Written Textbook In An Introductory College Biology Course, Greg Peters
Graduate Student Theses, Dissertations, & Professional Papers
Textbooks are ubiquitous tools in college classes, particularly in the sciences. Regular use of textbooks to complement science coursework can foster academic achievement and scientific literacy. Textbooks are chronically underused in college study due to high costs, challenging and time-intensive content, and perceived low value. In response, professors are increasingly using textbook alternatives including open textbooks, etextbooks, and wikis. Each has unique strengths and weaknesses.
Student-written textbooks are a less common, but growing, resource used to offer a low-cost alternative to publisher textbooks using collections of student research and writing. Student-written textbooks carry the possible benefits for students of supporting …
