      This reminds me how my high school teacher teaching us APA and MLA to avoid that on happening

    3. According to both first-generation and traditional students, their time commitments inevitably reflected the amount of time that they had available, rather than the amount of time it would take to master the course materia

      My sense is that mostly every college students, even high school students, does the same thing

    4. parents have been preparing these traditional students for college ever since they first entered schoo

      I had a similar experience with this because ever since I was a kid my parents would always take me education programs to prepare me for college, but I also see other parents do the same with their own children

    5. first-generation college students" pose notable retention concern

    2. I’d already embarrassed myself by doing things like asking my R.A. what time the dorm closed for the night

      There is nothing wrong with asking for help, especially when you are new to college.

    3. “I have no idea what any of that means,” she said. “I don’t even know how it’s a question.”

      It's difficult to learn a new language especially when you're away from home and you're parents can't help you but you don't know who else to ask for help.

    1. most first-generation students come from families with low incomes and minimal exposure to college

      What if they are not from a low-income family and minimal exposure to college? What would they be considered?

    2. increase their recruiting of first-generation students this year

      More privileged for first- gen students because they have no guidance from their parents?

    3. students who could be called first gen in a 7,300 sample ranged from 22 percent to 77 percent

      Can apply to most students because most parents do not have a college degree, which would make the student a first generation.

    4. The school considered a student first generation only if neither parent had a bachelor’s degree

    5. his father had a degree

      Did his father go to college in another country? Wouldn't it still count if his father do have a degree?

      People tend to not think about sleeping because of their busy schedule and would want to finish their work before heading to bed

      spending time wisely like finishing homework or studying instead of napping

    3. a third of adults fail to get the recommended seven hours.

      Including teenagers and even kids don't even get 7-8 hours of sleep

    4. considering whether to push back school start times to better match teenagers’ sleep cycles

      But wouldn't it push student's sleeping schedule even later because of the amount of homework they would have to do or after school extracurricular activities?

    1. Develop closer formal and informal relations among faculty, staff, students, alumni and the neighboring tech industry and tech communities
