Sagaria, Mary Ann Danowitz – Alternative Higher Education: The Journal of Nontraditional Studies, 1980
Freshman courses designed to increase the integration of students into college environments and thus decrease attrition rates are described based on a review of current practices of 20 colleges and universities. Core components are informal contact with peers, faculty, and staff; a small group setting; and cognitive and affective learning. (JMF)
