If college degrees enhance income, what problems can arise to make success in college difficult? Laziness Health problem Death in the family Job loss (no money) Car accident Biting off more than you can chew Addiction Incarceration Domestic conflict Homelessness Drama Missing basics: food, sleep, exercise, love

If college degrees enhance income, why do some students fail in college?

Cumulatively, SENSE (Survey of Entering Student Engagement) has surveyed well over 100,000 students from 199 different community colleges in 35 states, the Northern Marianas, and the Marshall Islands.

How can students respond to challenges that pose a threat to success in college?

Accepting Responsibility Successful Students  Adopt the Creator role believing that their choices create the outcomes and experiences of their lives. Struggling Students  Accept the Victim role believing that external forces determine the outcomes and experiences of their lives. Source: On Course: Strategies for Creating Success in College and Life, 3 rd Ed., by Skip Downing

Adopting the Creator Role Stimulus Choice VictimCreator Response Seeking solutions Taking action Trying something new Response Blaming Complaining Excusing Repeating behavior Results Often achieves goals Results Seldom achieves goals

Personal Responsibility Successful Students  Make wise decisions by consciously designing the future they want Struggling Students  Make careless decisions by letting the future happen by chance rather than by choice.

Accepting Responsibility Successful Students often  Focus on learning Can we review my errors so I can understand all the concepts? Struggling Students often  Focus on grades Can you accept some of my wrong answers as correct so that I can earn more points?

Success comes by working hard long after our initial enthusiasm passes.
