Highlights: Predictors of Degree Outcomes for Community College Students
This kind of ethnographic research following students along their pathways for five years and pulling out trends – while helpful – does little to expose what innovations could be made to improve the circumstance of students found to be in the, let’s say, groups with attributes correlating to unfortunate tendencies. I just hope the smart researchers will follow on with ways to improve students in the unfortunate circumstances. Simply being more selective at the beginning is not an option for most community colleges.
