Most of these first-year students are coming to us directly from high school. We know that students' adjustment between the high school environment and the college environment is great. College classes do not meet every day. College tests are less frequent.
Students write more frequently in college.
There is less monitoring and oversight of student progress in college. There is less control of student behavior in college. There are more curricular choices in college. College professors and students have more academic freedom. They also have less privacy to confer with students.
