For the mathematics recitation, the center conducted a quasi-experimental evaluation of the effect of the recitation on student grades and retention in college. For the others, the center conducted process evaluations using surveys, interviews, and focus groups to evaluate how well these initiatives were being implemented.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field"> <div class="field-title">Tagline</div> <div class="field-content-wrapper"> <div class="field-content"><p>Evaluations of initiatives at Essex County College.</p> </div> </div> </div> Mon, 26 Oct 2020 23:17:06 +0000 admin 105995 at http://heldrich.rutgers.edu
