How was this course
developed?
This course emerged from a rich partnership between Marj Savage, Director of the Parent Program at the University of Minnesota, and Jodi Dworkin, Ph.D., Assistant Professor in the Department of Family Social Science at the University of Minnesota. Marj and Jodi combine real life experience, facts, research, and practical information to bring you this Seminar for Parents.
The quotes you will read and listen to throughout this course are real quotes from real parents and real students. Jodi conducted individual interviews with college students in one Midwestern state. We also conducted focus groups with parents of UM-TC parents and students. To respect participants' privacy, the audio version of the quotes have been recorded by students at Radio K, the University of Minnesota's student-radio station.
