First Year Experience - HE Student Attrition

Descrição

Student attrition is an issue that is prevalent amongst first year university students. This mind map covers various factors associated with first-year student attrition, including the reasons why first year students may withdraw from their courses, positive influences that may provide motivation and strategies that universities could implement to prevent student attrition. I made this mind map to help me study for a written exam on this subject.
