This document questions the emphasis on research as the single criterion for evaluating all graduate schools and their faculties, and urges that all doctoral students spend time working outside university walls in areas related to their majors. Recommendations suggest: (1) Graduate school faculty be encouraged to take a wider view of their…

The varied reading deficiencies of college students of several backgrounds and ability levels are described to illustrate the need for differentiation in effective reading instruction for college students.

Scores of foreign graduate students on the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) Aptitude Tests and the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) were combined through multiple and moderated regression to predict grade-point average (GPA). It was hypothesized that TOEFL would moderate the relationship between the GRE scores and GPA. According to…

The mastery learning theory itself was proposed by Bloom (1968) as a…

This document is a working paper designed to point up some policies for the training of staff for the graduate schools in the universities in Ontario. Over the past few years, graduate enrollment has increased greatly, primarily a result of increased government funds for the expansion of graduate education. Recently, however, a scare has been in…

The purpose of the study was to develop a linear programming model to be used for prediction, test the accuracy of the predictions, and compare the accuracy with that produced by curvilinear multiple regression analysis. (Author)

The tenth annual report of the student financial assistance programs administered in Connecticut offers statistical data on the following programs: state scholarship programs for undergraduate and graduate awards, Restricted Educational Achievement Grant Program, College Continuation Grant Program, Higher Education Grant Program, and Connecticut…

This report provides a source for data on the financial support received by full-time graduate students in each of five divisions within each Ontario university. The data are presented in compact form. Given the variety and range of support, it is felt that average or median figures and interuniversity comparisons can be misleading; therefore, no…

The problem investigated in this study was whether male and female students would evaluate professors' teaching methods differentially as a function of their own sex and/or the sex of the particular professor. The subjects, fifty male and fifty female seniors and first year graduate students in psychology at San Jose State University, were divided…
