Learning and Writing Difficulties at the Tertiary Level: Their Impact on First Year Results.

Lietz, Petra

Studies in Educational Evaluation, v22 n1 p41-57 1996

Results from 291 first-year Australian college students with learning and writing difficulties (language minorities or students from other countries) suggest a direct effect of those difficulties on performance in first-year biology. College language and learning services that address areas in which students recognize their difficulties may improve achievement. (SLD)
