I have heard some talk about offering a special student success course for the Adult Learner. We are trying to create a special course for those students who are returning to college after many years. One of my colleagues has reminded me that all of our student are Adults. I appreciate your fine attention to language. I'm writing up something right now trying to wrestle this exact point in attempting to draw correlations between traditional-aged students and adult students.
Parallelism really suffers.
We were going to offer a special section of our Freshman Success course to adult learners, adults returning to college, or as some say non-traditional students, however, only one or two showed any interesx, so we included them in our regular freshman classes. We have found at our university, that many of the adults returning to college or non-traditional students, transfer in from the community colleges or other institutions and their needs are not quite the same as traditional 18 year old freshmen. Our entering freshmen for the most part are very recent high school graduates and seem to have different needs. These are the correct addresses to reach our Center's Home Page. I am new to the group, so please forgive me if the following topic is old hat.
