Would you recommend MORE to others, and why or why not?

  • It was the first time I’ve felt connected to “college people” in a long time.
  • More people, especially students, add to the conversations.  The more that people recognize and understand the issue with transitions the more likely to reduce some of the failure.  The more you know the more you can do to create success, try to make the transition transparent.
  • Very interesting topic and discussion of college transition was helpful.
  • Yes, any discussion of opportunities with multi-level math teachers is good.
  • Yes, good information, approachable faculty.
  • Yes, because for many I think that it will help other to plan their future courses.
