Isaac Newton And Student College Completion
Newton’s First Law of Motion states that an object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion and once in motion, that is when it develops momentum, it will tend to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an external force. First elucidated in 1687 in Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, Newton’s first law of motion can also be applied to study of student completion for like objects students at rest tend to stay at rest and students in motion tend to stay in motion. Once they gain momentum, that is acquire degree credits, they are more likely to stay in motion unless acted upon by an external force. Furthermore, the greater the rate at which students acquire degree credits, the greater their momentum toward degree completion
and in turn the greater the likelihood they will stay in motion to degree completion even when external forces intervene (Astin & Oseguera, 2005).
