Vietnamese-American students at Midwestern Community College: a narrative inquiry study

The purpose of this qualitative narrative inquiry study was to discover how heuristic knowledge is developed in the academic and social journeys of Vietnamese-American students enrolled at Midwestern Community College, MWCC (a pseudonym). Additionally, the study explored how Vietnamese-American students are able to utilize heuristic knowledge to overcome barriers to their success, as identified by Padilla et al. (1997). Vietnamese-American students were interviewed in an effort to understand how they describe and explain their "lived experiences" while attending MWCC.
