The Effects of a Freshman Seminar on At-Risk Under-, Over-, and Low Achievers.
Simmons, George; And Others
NACADA Journal, v15 n1 p8-14 Spr 1995
A study investigated the academic achievement of 390 students in a freshman seminar designed to enhance academic success of three risk groups (underachievers, overachievers, and low achievers). The populations responded to seminar content in distinct ways. Comparison with a control group showed the only gain was in retention of low achievers. Underachievers performed less well than controls. (Author/MSE)
