Student Success in First-Year Online Classes: Lowering DFWs by Raising the Bar
Many post-secondary institutions use DFW rates — the proportion of D’s, F’s and withdrawals in a given course or program — as a measure of student engagement and a bellwether of longer-term retention and success.
Join us at the EDC on Jan. 10 from 10 a.m. – noon as Bruce Tsuji (Department of Psychology) compares the results from 8,800 online students with their face-to-face classroom equivalents in an attempt to understand some drivers of DFW and demonstrates some course elements that appear to help lower DFW.
