More part-time community college students are coming to class prepared, working with instructors and participating with other students.
Those findings are part of a broader trend in which part-time students at community colleges are becoming more engaged in their learning, based on a report released today by the Center for Community College Student Engagement at the University of Texas at Austin. Some of the highlights from the report include:
- Part-time students who reported making a class presentation during the spring semester increased from 60 percent to 67 percent from 2004 to 2014.
- The share of part-time students who discussed career plans with an instructor or adviser increased from 61 percent to 70 percent over the same time period.
- Part-time students who reported working with classmates outside of class increased from 52 percent to 57 percent.
