Without such learning services colleges would admit the same students, and professors would be forced to teach classes with a much wider range of abilities represented but without any resources for students needing extra help. This in turn would lower the quality of education offered to the entire student body.encollege studentslearning assistancestudent achievementteaching methodshigher and postsecondary educationpedagogyprogram evaluationdevelopmental educationcurriculumpublic policy analysishistorysemanticsacademic accessstrategic planningBook chapter
