Who tends to graduate? Who tends to drop-out?Again, here are our beginning stepsDo the researchRead the research & highlight useful informationDiscuss the research with group & classTransfer relative research to 4 x 6 index cards using quoting, paraphrasing, and summarizing (print neatly)Write a Literature ReviewOnce the Lit Review is done:Design a “transfer preparation” program for OaktonWe will divide the workWe will then combine the workWe will write it outOnce the program is designed:We will determine how we will assess its effectivenessWe will go to the research we found to help usWhen we are finished:We will present our work to the appropriate
