Interviews with Students Enrolled in Academic CPR Workshops, Summer 2002.
Maple, Chelley
This study focuses on students enrolled in academic CPR workshops in the summer of 2002. The goal of the study is to examine changes in the population of students with academic problems. The CPR workshops are a requirement for students that are subject to dismissal. The study was conducted in the summer of 2003 on the telephone with a random sample of 20 of the 304 students. These are some of the conclusions that were drawn based on the interviews: (1) students were satisfied with the workshops giving it a score of 7.9 out 10; (2) students found the content of the workshops to be useful, especially time management skills; (3) students expressed that barriers to success were objective test taking and limited tutoring and counseling; and (4) students accepted responsibility for being on academic probation. Based on these findings, this document makes several recommendations: (1) future studies should be done with a larger sample; (2) future studies should be done right after the end of the summer classes so that the students have more fresh memories; and (3) since workshops appear to be effective, it would be wise to expand these workshops in the future. Contains a copy of the questionnaire used in the phone interviews. (MZ)
