The article, Exponential Attrition and the Promise of Acceleration, June 2010, argues that attrition can be guaranteed in long developmental sequences and presents evidence that one semester, open-access courses are a way to increase student completion rates in college-level English and math.

    By Melissa E. Lee, from the Do Your Job Better column of The Chronicle of Higher Education, March 13 2011. Lee, an adjunct English instructor at the State University of New York at Canton, offers suggestions to support students who she describes as "at-risk." Her three over-arching ideas are: provide structure in the classroom, show the connection between classroom learning and the real world, and make your students accountable.

    Lee's ideas call to mind such GSCC themes as scaffolding, contextualization, caring, college transition, structure, self-efficacy. There are interesting comments, as well.
