Survey of Entering Student Engagement (SENSE) Benchmarks Early Connections (EARLYCON) When students describe their early college experiences, they typically reflect on occasions when they felt discouraged or thought about dropping out. Their reasons for persisting almost always include one common element: a strong, early connection to someone at the college. High Expectations and Aspirations (HIEXPECT) When entering students perceive clear, high expectations from college staff and faculty, they are more likely to understand what it takes to be successful and adopt behaviors that lead to achievement. Students then often rise to meet expectations, making it more likely that they will attain their goals. Clear Academic Plan and Pathway (ACADPLAN) Students are more likely to persist if they not only are advised about what courses to take, but also are helped to set academic goals and to create a plan for achieving them. Effective Track to College Readiness (COLLREAD) Nationally, more than six in 10 entering community college students are underprepared for college-level work. Thus, significant improvements in student success will hinge upon effective assessment, placement of students into appropriate courses, and implementation of effective strategies to ensure that students build academic skills and receive needed support. Engaged Learning (ENGAGLRN) Instructional approaches that foster engaged learning are critical for student success. Because most community college students attend college part-time, and most also must find ways to balance their studies with work and family responsibilities, the most effective learning experiences will be those the college intentionally designs. Academic and Social Support Network (ACSOCSUP) Students benefit from having a personal network that enables them to obtain information about college services, along with the academic and social support critical to student success. Because entering students often don’t know what they don’t know, colleges must purposefully create those networks. DataPalooza IE Day 2011

Student Likes/DislikesASC Student Written Comments I love the new computer and lab area it makes it easier to work on my homework during class and in between classes. [math] The Academic Success Center is helpful. I work on computer lab assignments. I get the work done. [reading] I love working in the ASC. It is very helpful. I am going to be sad next semester when I cannot utilize the ASC anymore. :( [writing] DataPalooza IE Day 2011
Learning TechnologyASC Student Written Comments My only issue with this type course is that used books are not available. I have yet to open the text that I paid over $200.00 for. The software and instructor have more than adequately prepared me for everything I need in the course. [math] It's a great alternative for people who don't have the equipment at their disposal. [writing] DataPalooza IE Day 2011
InstructorASC Student Written Comments My experience as a student in the Academic Success Center has been amazing. All of the staff (including my instructor) in the math labs were incredible. They had a lot of patience when explaining the concepts and rules while they all understood and accepted that not everyone finds math easy to do. I never felt "stupid" and even times when I didn't want to have to ask yet another question, the insight of the staff would notice I was struggling, pull up a chair and walk me through. I would recommend Academic Success Center to all students, and I am grateful that such an opportunity is available. This was the first time in many, many years that I could leave a math class with a smile. Thank you. [math] DataPalooza IE Day 2011
LearningASC Student Written Comments I learned how to do things at my own pace (and) also how important it is to check my work. [math] I have enjoyed my time working in (the ASC). It has been a great learning experience…also my instructor made this class seem simple and I understood all of what was taught in class. [writing] DataPalooza IE Day 2011
