Journal of the Freshman Year Experience & Students in Transition, v8 n1 p47-77 1996
The effectiveness of a California State University, Long Beach, program to prepare incoming students for university-level work and educational processes was assessed in 2 surveys of new students (n=1,100, n=1,613) and 1 of 80 who had taken the course previously. Key elements in program success were identified: course content; teaching techniques; and support for personal, psychological, attitudinal changes. (Author/MSE)
