An Orientation Course for Mature-Entry University Students: Evaluation of Students' Goals and Four-Year Follow-Up.

Moore, Donna; And Others

Canadian Journal of University Continuing Education, v21 n1 p11-27 Spr 1995

A survey of 60 adult students participating in university preparation courses found a weak positive correlation between importance of personal goals and success in achieving them. Of 193 participants in the course and 193 controls, controls took more courses, possibly because those who are aware of their anxiety about college consciously choose a lighter academic load. (SK)
