Re: ITracking Lab Users

[<snewmann@sfasu.edu>]

Anne, at the clients we see in the writing center here usually have SAT's
that are 15-30 points or more lower than the non-clients.  At the same
time their grades in the course are usually better.  That is--higher
percentages of clients earn successful grades than non-clients and lower
percentages of clients earn unsuccessful grades than to non-clients.
Successful grades are "A","B", and "C" and unsuccessful grades are "D","F"
and "W".
