Retention Best Practices

Public

Discussion:

I once taught at an institution that gave rewards to faculty who had the highest rate of retention for each quarter. I felt this was unfair because teachers who taught a class of 30 and had 1 student leave at the end of the quarter would have a higher percentage than one who had 5 students and lost 1. I felt that those who taught higher level courses with smaller class sizes were unfairly kept out of this reward system. Have any of you run into this. How would you deal with this issue.
