  1. An Examination of the Causality of Transition and Retention Failure within Computer Science based CoursesMark Johnson & Robert DavisDIVISION OF COMPUTING, UNIVERSITY OF NORTHAMPTON,NORTHAMPTON NN2 6JD 1) Student evaluation interviews, questionnaires, workshops and course data is being utilised to identified students experiencing transition or progression difficulties. Candid interviews, focusing on the student’s transitional experiences and their perception of their own personal reasons for apparent failure within the course are explored. 2) The nature of the material taught within the field of computing (e.g. Programming, logic, mathematics, etc.) and the personality tendencies (e.g. preferred learning style) of many students drawn to computing, may necessitate field specific strategies for induction, curriculum development and staff development. 3) Support social networking & development - "group learning" and "shared learning“ synergies. Enhance course literature with “realities” of studying computing degree subjects. Ensure early assessment and feedback of student performance. Promote activities and strategies to promote course attendance and motivation Promote strategies to optimize the teaching satisfaction and support Improve Student maturity by exposing students to the realities of working in the IT sector
