Professor:Course/Section:
•You may be surprised to learn that over 20% of all undergraduate students don’t utilize their required course material.
•Student retention is dropping nationwide and while the higher education community has done a remarkable job of opening the doors of college to more and more students, we have not seen equal strides in the number of students who actually complete four-year degrees. (Education Trust, 2004)
•The top factors motivating a student to use their adopted books all involve whether the material is immediately used, referred to, or assessed from in the classroom.
What you can do…
Your students take their cues from you and many wait until the third week of class to see how the book is used before deciding whether or not they need it. Please take a few minutes the first day of class to explain and demonstrate why you adopted your book and accompanying technology.
The next few slides show the book, technology products, and messaging that indicates that they will be responsible for the content. Feel free to customize the information or delete from your slide set.
