This greatly enhanced communication between freshmenand their course faculty. To enhance opportunities for the creation of academic and socialintegration, an approach that is of increasing popularity in colleges is the use of learningcommunities. Small groups of students take several classes together to enhance academic andsocial integration of students, and strengthen their cognitive skills.6Lower rated categories included the content of the Math Review sessions which was biased moreto the Pre-Calculus students, although many were beginning Calculus 1 or 2.
