An Orientation Course for Mature-Entry University Students: Evaluation of Students' Goals and Four-Year Follow-Up.
Moore, Donna; And Others
Canadian Journal of University Continuing Education, v21 n1 p11-27 Spr 1995

Of 193 participants in the course and 193 controls, controls took more courses, possibly because those who are aware of their anxiety about college consciously choose a lighter academic load. (SK)
