PA's comment: "There's an interesting book by Norton Grubb entitled Honored But Invisible based on a thorough qualitative study of pedagogy in a whole bunch of community colleges. His basic point is that while we claim to be "teaching" colleges, there is little support for improving teaching."

By Liz Willen on The Heckinger Report, October 29, 2010. Remedial education is often an obstacle to college completion. Students required to take developmental courses become frustrated and are more likely to drop out than those who don't have to enroll in these courses. Research is underway to identify alternative models.
