Citations in the corpus

• Entering the university: the differentiated experience of two Chinese international students in a New Zealand university (2007, background): “It would seem that the university carried some kind of obligation either to change its entry criteria to clarify the need for more than simply English proficiency levels, or to put in place spaces for Ridley’s (2004) ‘conversations’ to occur.”
• A study of accounting students' motives, expectations and preparedness for higher education (2005, background): “experience for many students as they are entering an unfamiliar domain (Neave, 1987; Oldham, 1988; Raaheim et al., 1991; Lowe & Cook, 2003; Ridley, 2004).”
• Bridging the gap: supporting student transitions into higher education (2010, background): “This affirms Ridley’s ( 2004 ) supposition that ‘conversations’ are the key to student success, and other research suggests the need for ‘transition tutorials’ within the first semester (Crosling 2003 ; Keup and Barefoot 2005 ).”
