The study of 1,144 freshmen entering four-year, programs revealed highly unrealistic expectations about their choice of major, grades, study skills and study hours. For instance, although only 20% of the students had earned B averages or better in high school, more than 89% expected to earn a B average or better by the end of theirfirst year in college. Freshmen in associate degree programs over-estimated their probable academic success to a far greater degree than four-year freshmen. In fact,James Kelly, assistant director od Penn State's Division of Undergraduate Studies, says, "In all cases, the two-year population emerged as significantly more unrealistic than their four-year counterparts." The amount of time they expected to spend studying was also unrealistic. Fully 79% of the two-year students predicted they would study 20 hours a week or less. "Recall now that 89% of these students expect to earn a B average or better, and it is clear that, as a group, these students were either unaware of how difficult it might be to earn B's in college, or they did not make a connection between study hours and grades," Kelly says. For study skills, the same phenomenon appeared. While high first-year grades were predicted, "good to excellent" ratings were given to reading speed by only 34% of the students; to exam preparation by 43%; to reading comprehension by 45%; to understanding of lectures by 51%; to taking notes by 53%; and to organization skills by 65%. The choice of major and career fared no better. Only 13% indicated they knew a great deal about the major they were condsidering, and only 14% had participated in a great number of related activities. A change of major was predicted by 62%. "Presumably," Kelly says, "this profile of Penn State associate degree students is not unique...The recently reported decline in community and junior college enrollments following on the heels of enrollmentdeclines... in some four-year colleges... demands that colleges make better efforts to recruit students who will be retained. There is a need to asses the academic characteristics of students and to integrate this assessment into academic programs and institutional planning." ex...'■■■» .■-■■■ „..,.„..,... -i i.ufl LONG DAY'S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT Coming Soon To WCU Theater FOR TICKET INFORMATION CALL EX.7491 rW g».m**l ii.u»'^tww:ru.n
