Student Evaluation of Teaching, student retention, higher educationAbstract
How do we improve student retention and graduation rates in the face of ever- changing challenges across individual, institutional, and social levels? This is one of the most important questions that continues to haunt institutions of higher education. Furthermore, public colleges face a continued decrease in funding as a result of state budget cuts and seek new ways to cope with the financial stress. Current best practices make the use of technology the preferred option available for academic continuity and the only option on this campus.
