focus first on the quality of the student’s thinking, rather than matters of spelling andgrammar. The latter are certainly important to meeting professional publication standards andmust be addressed, but premature focus on spelling and grammar may cause both student andfaculty to become bogged down in multiple cycles of proofreading and wordsmithing. Holisticconsideration of the elements of thinking in research, and an explicit focus on intellectualstandards rather than formatting standards should lead to improvement in the attainment of high-level skills in a graduate program.References[1] R.

Prior workhas shown that several factors can influence an individuals’ mental health, including, but notlimited to, a students’ demographics, social factors, available resources, values, motivation, andacademic discipline. The purpose of this study is to focus specifically on how social aspects caninfluence graduate students’ mental health, or mental and emotional well-being.

Bettinger & Loeb [16] examined the performance of online versus onsite studentsat DeVry University, where the average student takes two-thirds of their courses online and one-third onsite at one of DeVry’s physical campuses. They determined that students taking a coursein-person earned roughly a B- grade (2.8) on average, while if the course would have been takenonline, the students would have earned a C (2.4). The analysis also revealed that taking a courseonline reduces a student’s GPA the following term by 0.15 points. The decline in GPA for thenext term is even larger for courses in the same subject area or courses for
