University Students Speak Out: Suggestions To Improve The Move To Emergency Remote Education, Pauline Howes, Justine E. Pettigrew

Faculty Articles

The 2020 COVID-19 crisis forced universities to make a dramatic shift to emergency remote education (ERE). While the urgency of the pandemic is gone, schools continue implementing ERE, but more often on a short-notice, short-term basis in response to various situations. This research examines students’ suggestions for improving university transitions to ERE and applies them to post-pandemic use of ERE. Qualitative thematic analysis was used to analyze responses to an open-ended survey question answered by 2,751 students at a large Southeastern U.S. university. Responses identified main concerns as Grades and Grading (38%), Better University and Instructor Preparation (23%), Improved Learning …

Coaching America's Youngest College Football Team: My Plan, Trent Figg

University Faculty Publications and Creative Works

“From the start, I’ve made it clear that being a champion isn’t just about football. The time a young man spends playing college football is some of the most formative in a young man’s life, and I refuse to let that time be wasted focusing solely on the game. I’m committed to shaping their character and preparing them to win on the field and in their future roles as husbands, fathers, leaders, and men of faith.”

At-Risk Male Student Athletes’ Perceptions Of Support Efforts To Enhance Retention At A Faith-Based University, Drametrice Traronzoe Smith

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Student athletes often enter college unprepared for academic rigor, making them particularly vulnerable in terms of academic success. At a faith-based university in the southeast United States, low retention of student athletes results from poor class attendance, course failures, and low grade point averages. The purpose of this basic qualitative study was to explore how at-risk college student athletes perceived the value of support efforts to enhance retention at this faith-based university. Guided by Tinto’s theory of student departure, this basic qualitative study involved a sample of 12 to 15 at-risk college student athletes from the university who participated in …
