Reworking the Student Departure Puzzle

Vanderbilt University Press, 2000

Higher Education Attrition/Retention
Although this book is starting to be a little dated for current presentation of attrition theory and research (older than 5 years) it still has some very useful information. I purchased it for the chapter by Bean and Eaton on the Psychological Model of Student Retention. I could not find this information anywhere else and it was essential to a thorough review of the history of attrition models in ...

They are so gripping! Anyone who isn't sure whether ...

Oxford University Press, USA, 1995

Great teaching tool for English conversation
I have been teaching English to Japanese for over a decade using the Streamline English series because it is entertaining and easy to both teach and learn from. The series is very well crafted, giving grammar in easily digested doses with a strong component of fun. The audio cassette adds a lot to the course: breaking up lecture time, exposing students to others' speech patterns and ...

Braxton, Amy S. Hirschy, ...

Jossey-Bass, 2004

Student departure is a long-standing problem to colleges and universities. Approximately 45 percent of students enrolled in two-year colleges depart during their first year, and approximately one out of four students departs from a four-year college or university. The authors advance a serious revision of Tinto's popular interactionalist theory to account for student departure, and they postulate a theory of student departure in commuter ...

The Facts In The Case Of The Departure Of Miss Finch

Neil Gaiman, Michael Zulli

Dark Horse, 2007

He shivered at the memory...
The world of Neil Gaiman looks pretty normal -- until you see the dark, eerie, bizarre things that swim just under the surface. So expect nothing less from the primly-titled "The Facts in the Case of the Departure of Miss Finch," a graphic novel adaptation of Gaiman's short story. Michael Zulli's matter-of-fact artwork serves as a solid complement to Gaiman's eerie story of an ordinary, ...

Diamond hard words that cut through to being Human!
Eido Roshi is the real deal. He brought Rinzai Zen to the west from japan, in a lineage that can be traced all the way back to the Buddha himself. In 'Pionts of Departure," you have the opportunity to hear and read his outstanding insights that penetrate to the very core of who we are (if you allow it). As a friend of mine once said (as he was stealing my book), "Eido Roshi's words, shine ...

The Bible As/in Literature (Points of Departure)

Scott Foresman & Co, 1995

Good
...I have very little education about religious topics. I'm reading this in one of my classes right now and I think it's wonderful. I give it four stars though because it can get boring at times. Otherwise, it's great if you don't want to read the bible... My favorite passage in this is Jacob's Ladder.

Conversation in Spanish: Points of Departure

Heinle, 2001

Good for third year High School Spanish
I have used this book in my third year high school Spanish classes with good results. The questions range from easy to more difficult, requiring from short phrases to longer, more thoughtful answers. The topics covered are timely and useful, and the students seem to enjoy working together and orally answering the questions. The vocabulary is very useful.
