Variables Affecting the Decision to Withdraw from Liberal Arts and Science Courses.

Miller, Jimmie C.

Community College Review, v25 n3 p39-54 Win 1997

Describes a study that analyzes variables affecting students' decisions to withdraw from liberal arts and science courses. Findings indicated that students with higher GPAs were more likely to withdraw from class than students with low GPAs, perhaps to preserve their averages and repeat the course with higher grades. Contains five data tables and 30 references. (JDI)
