Increase of study success starts in the classroom

Student drop out in universities is a universal problem and is especially critical in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education. More qualified candidates are needed in these fields to fill the demands of the industry (Stephens & Richey, 2013). Even though researchers found several critical aspects that affect student success and that could reduce student drop out, implementation of research results have rarely led to any major improvements in graduation rates.
