Investigation of the Academic Performance of College-to-University Transfer Students

Over the last decade, many universities/colleges have developed formal agreements which permit students from recognized college programs to be able to seamlessly transfer to a closely-related university program with advance standing. There has been some concerned raised that students that come to university from college may not be academically (or emotionally) prepared for the faster-paced university programs. This research, which was funded by an Ontario Council on Articulation and Transfer Faculty Fellowship, examines the academic performance of students in computer-related disciplines with a focus on comparing students who come to a university through a formalized college-to-university transfer agreement relative to students who enroll directly from high school. The comparisons will be based on metrics such as graduation rates, course failure rates, overall averages, course-level averages, and course-subject averages.

Theoretical Application to Understand Food Insecurity Among College Students: A Multi-Systems Life Course Perspective

Empirical studies have shown a distinct relationship between academic performance and food insecurity in college students. Specifically, food-insecure students are more likely to report a lower grade point average than their food secure counterparts. Since the Great Recession, more attention has been given to the topic of hunger and food insecurity among college students;however, the literature still lacks a comprehensive examination of various issues facing today’s college students. Using a multi-systems life course (MSLC) perspective, this paper provides a conceptual explanation of the lived experience of college students by offering a better understanding of the unique challenges faced by this population. Findings from this study will assist researchers, practitioners, and university administrators in their efforts to address hunger among this population.

The Impact of Family Relationships on the Smoking Habits of University Students

Smoking habits are thought to be strongly impacted by family relationships. In this study, we looked specifically at family relationships with the aim of finding effective anti-smoking education measures. We surveyed 290 university students in order to establish their current smoking habits, along with their family relationships from primary and junior high school until now. The results showed that students with one or more smokers in their family were clearly more likely to smoke. Furthermore, a poor relationship between the student’s parents and a poor relationship with his/her father are believed to have a causal relationship with the student smoking. In the section in which students were asked how often they were told to study, we found that students who smoked had been instructed to study a significantly higher number of times. It is believed that the stress experienced by students frequently told that they must study during their elementary or junior high school years leads to a tendency to smoke. Among the group of non-smokers, we found many who ate breakfast with their parents during elementary or junior high school, along with many who regularly went on holidays with their families. The lack of these things appears to distance parents from children and may be a factor regarding why children end up smoking. In this study, while no clear correlation was found between family relationships and smoking, several types of family relationships that may lead to smoking were suggested.

The Practice of a Method of Self-Study Students Counting in Classrooms Based on Head Detection in Colleges and Universities

In order to solve the problem that it is difficult for students to find self-study classrooms because of the limited classroom resources, combined with the current situation of informatization in colleges and universities, a feasible method of students counting in classrooms based on head detection is proposed. This method first collects the scene images in the classroom at regular intervals based on the existing examination monitoring system, and then uses the offline trained AdaBoost cascade detector to detect the head candidate region in the images. Then, the trained CNN-SVM model is used to further identify the head, and finally the identification results are processed and the number of students in the classrooms is counted. The test and practice show that the query system for the idle situation of self-study classrooms constructed by coordinating the classroom seat capacity, classroom scheduling data and the students counting in the classroom based on the above method can easily query the current crowded degree of the students in the classrooms, which plays a good guiding role for students to find self-study classrooms. The method has strong reference and promotion significance for solving similar problems in other universities.
