Based on what you've read (Chapter and Howard and Jones (2000) research study), how will taking a student success course help you reach your goals?
What will be an ideal response?
Based on this research, students who participated in a student success course felt more prepared for college, were more confident, were more aware of campus resources available to them, and had higher competency levels in terms of study skills. However, students were not more confident with major choice. It may be that this type of course helps students begin the career exploration process but that much more work in this area will be needed throughout college. These positive benefits were consistent with other research that has shown academic benefits such as higher grade point averages and increased likelihood of staying in college.
