Student retention, can refer to holding the students' attention and interest during each class, as well as keeping students' in the class physically. Does not retaining students' attention and interest have a lot to do with the success of keeping students in the course and program? I would argue that it does. Course ED 102 leads me to believe that retention goes beyound a single day, and extends throughout each week during the course, each course and even the program . Would anyone disagree?
