Help me study for my Social Science class. I’m stuck and don’t understand.

For this week’s assignment, read the “Student Diversity” course document https://class.content.laureate.net/ac02a2d5c4164fe… and visit the National Center for Education Statistics “Fast Facts” Web page at http://nces.ed.gov/fastfacts. Click on More info under the “Back 2 School Stats” image and scroll down to “College and University Education”. Click on source after each fact to learn more about trends in the gender, age, and race/ethnicity of U.S. college students.

Based on your review of these resources and on your personal/professional experience, select a student population for your research. Submit your selection to the Instructor, explaining why the group demands further research. Based on the Instructor’s feedback, you will begin gathering information on the group for next week’s assignment.
