I agree students need more clarification regrading expectations facing the work in college. Students need straight forward and realistic detailed information regarding classes, test dates and other important due dated assignments. Well developed self-management skills, logic and decision making along with problematic skills have to be well honed to excel. Most first year college students will need that contact to feel connected to the campus so it is important to incorporate a social interactive learning in-class assignments. This method is advantageous to the student and the facilitator and making them aware if the students are processing the information.
