Part of the Learner Skill Attainment Field Review Project
This document looks at the factors that help an Ontario college Literacy and Basic Skills (LBS) 5 student make a successful transition to Academic Upgrading (AU) studies. The author asks whether it is simply a matter of academic skills or whether there are attitudes that go along with those skills. As well, the author asks what kinds of tasks in LBS 5 are good predictors of success in AU.
