The Effects of a Freshman Seminar Paired with Supplemental Instruction.
Yockey, Frances A.; George, Archie A.
Journal of the First-Year Experience & Students in Transition, v10 n2 p57-76 1998
A three-semester study investigated the effects on academic performance of a freshman seminar paired with a core sociology course. Students in the paired course achieved higher grades in the course and higher grade point averages for the semester of intervention than did nonparticipating control group students. After two years, freshman seminar students also had higher retention rates. (Author/MSE)
