Completion begins and ends in the classroom by Terry O’Banion

A great column - Excerpts from Academic Advising: The Key to Student Success, edited by Terry O’Banion.  Supporting data from the Center for Community College Student Engagement (CCCSE) shows that the keys to successful completion use these principles of good practice:

1. Encourage student-faculty contact.
2. Encourage cooperation among students.
3. Encourage active learning.
4. Give prompt feedback.
5. Emphasize time on task.
6. Communicate high expectations.
7. Respect diverse talents and ways of learning.
