Ohio State University claims students who take a first-year course on learning and motivation are 45% more likely to graduate than students who do not. While any student is allowed to enroll in the class, it is aimed at the students who perform poorly. This seems comparable to what Penn State's first year seminar is intended to do, yet I don't believe my first year seminar prepared me in any way for the university workload. Penn State students may benefit from a learning and motivation required course far more than a first year seminar. Even the brightest students can lack certain study skills simply because high school was not challenging enough to create a need for them. I think it is an interesting concept and it should be explored further.
