| Summary: | The college student who is considered a "high academic risk" offers to teachers, counselors, and curricula a great challenge. Most "bright" students have to exert little effort to achieve academic successs; however, there are other students for whom learning comes only with great personal effort, as well as great patience and concern on the part of their instructors, who can also benefit from higher education. The results of Project speed, representing one attempt to do some- thing with high-risk students, strongly suggest that developmental programs can have a measurably positive influence upon their participants.
