Student retention - Methods that work

Something that I am going to begin to do in my next course is to send a message promoting how great the students are doing and motivational words for my students while they are pursuing their degree. I have found that many of my students WANT to do well, but sometimes things happen and they lean on the "giving up" method.

That is very sound advice Ron. Thank you for sharing that with us. I may try to do something similar next mod

Ron,
The easiest thing to do is fail. Doesn't take any effort and you can blame someone else for it. So when success comes along some students aren't sure how to handle it. Keep up the encouragement and give them steps to follow with their success. Success gives you choices and opportunities and the students to know how to handle both.
