These may negatively impact on by distracting from study, or enhance encouraging students to address challenges as they arise. In the current study were asked describe their single point early semester, and outline strategies for overcoming these future. Five hindrance clusters determined differences between student academic subgroups identified. Hindrances associated with difficulties...
