Working through some data (yay!) and found this chart super interesting. Over the past decade, students have spent less time helping their peers with course content, reaching new lows in 2022-23. I'm not a researcher so I can't draw conclusions, but it made me kinda sad.

Research from NSC finds, maybe unsurprisingly, retention is a no.1 predictor in a student's timely completion of an associate degree. For bachelor's, it's GPA.
