Gerrity, Deborah A.; And Others
NACADA Journal, v13 n1 p43-52 Spr 1993
A study found college honors (n=231) and nonhonors (n=709) first-year students were similar in extracurricular interests, educational objectives, and some study habits; they reported differences in most other areas. Findings have implications for advising both groups, such as placement of emphasis on format of academic courses, orientation to campus life, and retention strategies. (Author/MSE)
