The students participating in the two courses are alike in age, gender, and approaches to learning. Four hundred and ninety-three students participating in these courses answered the short version of the Approaches and Study Skills Inventory for Students (ASSIST) .  \nResults show that students demonstrating a deep approach to learning in either course are more likely to complete. In the mathematics course, a combination of deep and strategic approaches correlates positively with course completion. In the programming course, students who demonstrate a surface approach are less likely to complete. These results are in line with the intentions of the course designers, but they also suggest ways to improve these courses. Furthermore, the study demonstrates that ASSIST can be used to evaluate course design.  \nCJHE / RCES Volume 43, No. 3, 2013  \nStudent approaches to learning / O. Bälter, M. Cleveland-Innes, K.

Dans les deux cours, les participants présentent les mêmescaractéristiques quant à l’âge, au sexe et à l’attitude vis-à-vis des études.  \nQuatre cent quatre-vingt-treize étudiants inscrits à ces cours ont répondu à la version abrégée d’une recherche sur les approches et les compétences d’études chez les étudiants intitulée « Approaches and Study Skills Inventory for Students » (ASSIST). Les résultats démontrent que les étudiants qui abordentl’apprentissage de manière sérieuse dans l’un ou l’autre des cours ont plus de chances de réussir. Dans le cours de mathématiques, une combinaisond’approches sérieuses et stratégiques est positive pour réussir le cours, tandisque les étudiants du cours de programmation qui adoptent une approche superficielle envers l’apprentissage présentent moins de chance de réussite.  \nBien que ces résultats soient conformes aux intentions des créateurs de ces cours, ils proposent aussi certaines améliorations possibles. L’étude démontre qu’on peut aussi utiliser ASSIST pour l’évaluation de la conception de cours.  \nCourse completion is an outcome of interest in online courses, as the dropout rate is often higher when compared with on-campus courses (Levy, 2007) . In this study we investigate two preparatory university courses offered online, with variation in completion rates: 37% in a mathematics course and 69% in a programming course. The courses target the same student group, and on-campus equivalentshave completion rates over 90%. The aim of this study is to explore whether the Approaches and Study Skills Inventory for Students (ASSIST) can be used as an effective instrument to evaluate students in an online course and, if so, whether students’ approaches to learning can explain the difference in course completion.  \nBackground Information  \nApproaches to Learning and Studying  \nThe approaches to learning theory derives from qualitative analysis of in-depth interviews with students who describe their learning behaviour and intentions when studying a text (Marton & Säljö, 2005). From students’ focus on extracting meaning from this text but with different emphasis on outcome and process, two distinctive approaches were ident","cbCairHt2tOgQEAI","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairHt2tOgQEAI","pdf",394546,18,"English","# Abstract\n## Approaches to Learning and Studying\n## Course completion and study aims","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of the study?\",\"answer\":\"The study examines whether approaches to learning, measured by ASSIST, can explain differences in online course completion between two preparatory university courses.\"},{\"question\":\"How do deep and surface approaches relate to course completion?\",\"answer\":\"Students demonstrating a deep approach are more likely to complete.
