Surveys of the student body were conducted todetermine their parents’ educational backgrounds, their career expectations, commuting distance,access to a computer at home, etc. These surveys were intended to help characterize the studentbody, since no one actually knew who would attend the programs before they actually began toenroll.

this can lead todifficulties when students with no team skills are asked to work together. We first provided someexamples of past students reactions to team work, both positive and negative. The quotes givento the class were very well received and were taken from Eaves (1996), a discussion of thelessons learned in teaching team-based courses at Stanford University. It would appear that war-stories are very popular with students. We then moved on to a discussion of team management,with the goal of giving students (1) the ability to recognize difficulties (such as occur, forexample, when one member is perceived by others to be contributing less than might be expectedto the team effort), and (2) ideas on how to deal with difficulties

Results indicate that it is possible todefine the MM group in a specific course using only prior achievement data. The results also furthervalidate that more than half of attrition of students happens after the first year. The study also foundthat self-regulated learning is also presumed to be an important aspect of helping the MM groupsucceed academically.
