Abstract

Efforts on most campuses do not go far enough to promote student retention, especially for first-year students. Add-on classes that are disconnected from one another cannot give students the cohesive environment they need to connect with faculty, staff, and other students. What are needed are learning environments, such as learning communities, that actively involve students, faculty members, and staff in shared learning activities.

  • Because bridge program participation impacted retention, which college retention models generally regard as the result of academic performance, the results provide evidence of a longer-term impact of the bridge program beyond just increasing GPAs.

    “The fact that bridge program participation impacted students’ retention, which college retention models generally regard as the result of academic performance (Tinto, 1999), provides evidence of a longer-term impact of the bridge program beyond just increasing GPAs.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
