Just curious. How many students do you usually have in these courses? What prereqs if any, did they have? By retention, do you mean how many make earn a C or better from day one? This data would include all D and Fs as well as withdrawn students? I ask this since I teach at a 2 year school and my numbers are more in the 60-70 percentile when one counts in withdrawn students into the data. Thanks for your answers, Ken M Florence-Darlington Technical College ________________________________ From: HAPS-L-owner@xxxxxxxxxxx on behalf of Bob Tallitsch Sent: Mon 3/26/2007 3:18 PM To: HAPS-L@xxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [SUSPECTED SPAM] Re: [HAPS-L] retention rates Data from my institution (4-year liberal arts institution) may be aberrant from community college data.
