Group Presentation: 4.0

Group 4.0’s research topic was informative. They did a comparison on Historically Black Colleges/Universities and primarily White Universities’, and compared the graduation rates. Their comparisons, as well as statics showed that HBCU’s had higher graduation rates than primarily white universities. Of course I find this information to be outstanding as well as useful, but I do believe that a little more information could have been put into this comparison. I think that reasons why HBCU have higher graduation rates should have been included in the presentation to make it well-rounded. I do remember the group discussing some of the programs that are offered at HBCU and not at the predominantly white schools, which can be seen as a huge contribution to the reasoning, but I still think that the group could have dug further. Instead of explaining programs and showing multiple graphs and statics of schools, the group could have given more reasons. Such as the learning environment, the faculty, the students they accept, or how confortable a student feels in a school. I think that such factors as these are very important when making a comparison and analyzing things. Ever effect has a cause. The group’s presentation was very information and is very encouraging it shows that HBCU has a lot more to offer than people expect. It shows how HBCU is progressing, which I think is another detail that the group should have mentions. But the overall presentation was very well done and informative. Makes me more proud to be at an HBCU!
