Perceived Academic Needs of the Nontraditional Student in a Microcomputer Applications Course.

Webler, Melody

Delta Pi Epsilon Journal, v34 n2 p77-82 Spr 1992

A sample of 114 traditional and 35 nontraditional undergraduates provided demographic information and indicated perceptions of course prerequisites, lecture/instruction, and laboratory assistance. Nontraditional students needed more academic assistance in microcomputer classes and labs; they were uneasy about competing with recent high school graduates and needed services and support to help with nonschool priorities.
