Age Distribution in the Grades as a Measure of Mentality |
| |
| Abstract: | AbstractA study was made to determine whether or not there was a significant correlation between a student’s academic standing in a course and the time when the student withdrew from the course. Students considered withdrawers, rather than dropouts, were those who quit a course before the end of a term but continued in good standing in other courses. In this study of fourteen courses with high withdrawal (W) rates, taught by five different community college teachers, the researcher found that half of all grades assigned were W-grades. The withdrawers resembled the dropouts in the literature in that the time of departure was related to academic standing. |
