Going Online: Decision Processes of Community College Students Enrolling in Online Degree Programs
No full textThis paper examines the decision-making process of students who enroll online at two California community colleges to learn how fully-online students gather information about potential institutions and programs, which alternatives were considered, and which sources were most useful to them in choosing programs. We draw on interviews with 25 students intending to attend fully online; interviews were conducted prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. These findings suggest that students are aware of the availability of online classes and make the choice to attend at a given institution based on convenience, finances, and familiarity with the college. The students that we interviewed almost all enrolled in programs that were proximate to their homes, despite their intent to complete their academic programs online. Colleges should think carefully about how information and support are provided to those students wishing to complete classes and find creative ways to engage students and provide campus resources virtually

The Extent To Which the Earth\u27s Motion is Perturbed by the Moon, More Accurately Investigated: An English Translation of E139
No full textIn Tabulae astronomicae solis et lunae (Solar and lunar astronomical tables) (E87), published in 1746, Euler made a first attempt to correct his astronomical tables for the gravitational attraction of the Earth toward the Moon, simply by accounting for the difference between the position of the Earth and the center of gravity of the Earth-Moon system. In this article Euler revisited the problem, noting that this center of gravity would not itself take an elliptical path around the Sun. To model the motion more accurately, Euler considered the separate gravitational attractions of the Sun and Moon acting on the Earth. With this approach, Euler found expressions dependent on the angle between the Sun and Moon as seen from Earth that can be used to correct the direction of the Sun as seen from Earth as well as the distance from the Earth to the Sun. Unfortunately for Euler, the accuracy of these corrections depends on accurate estimates of the density of the Moon and the mean distance from the Earth to the Sun, neither of which were available
Even Repdigits are not Perfect: Conclusions from Triangular Numbers
No full textAre there nontrivial repdigits that are perfect numbers? This note gives an answer: not for numbers smaller than . This finding follows from results for triangular numbers. Passing by, I review Euler\u27s contributions on polygonal numbers
