Now that we have discussed strategies that promote student success, let’s flip the discussion and have a discussion about barriers to student success. Most of us know of someone who started college but did not finish, for one reason or another. Think about people who you may know (or people you heard of) who enrolled in college but did not graduate. Answer the 3 questions below. Your answer should include at least 4 complete sentences.
- In your opinion or based on your experiences, what are factors or situations that keep students from graduating from college? Why?
