| Abstract | "The author tracks the history of concerns over student retention and completion in community colleges, evaluates prior attempts to use national data sets to measure student success, and draws on interviews with students that highlight their experiences prior to and during college. The author develops the concept of "student sensibility" as a way to underscore the situational experiences of students and stresses the importance of foregrounding their experiences in our understanding of student success"-- Provided by publisher. |
