Yaworski, JoAnn
Journal of College Reading and Learning, v29 n1 p57-72 Fall 1998
Presents a case study of two "at-risk" students who started college with seemingly equal academic aptitudes but who achieved very different levels of success by the end of the first year. Questions the reasons for scholastic success or failure and prompts educators to explore the implications for developmental education. (RS)
