"Successful (college success) programs place emphasis on
helping students to (1) strengthen their self concepts, (2) overcome negative
feelings about prior educational experiences, (3) increase their sense of control
over their environment, (4) increase their understanding of institutional policies
and procedures, (5) set realistic goals, and, (6) accept responsibility for
their own learning."
(from "College Learning Assistance Programs: Ingredients for Success" by Brenda
Van, Journal of College Reading and Learning, , 24(2), 27-39, 1992.)
