Sure to make the average reader chuckle. ... An excellent source for future-and present-college students. * VOYA * Burns's delivery is presented in such a way that it is effortless for students to grasp and retain....Having high school students read this book during their senior year, or during their summer break before college would prove to be extremely beneficial. * Journal Of College Student Development, Vol. 49, No. 1 * Peter Burns' Success in College offers the tips and strategies that are essential to receiving good grades in college. With his blend of humor, insight, and genuine concern, he has created a book that speaks honestly to new college students and high school seniors. The book is not naive about college life and that is its true strength-college is a time of wonderful social growth and Burns is able to show how to expertly balance the social with the academic. -- Steve Loflin, executive director, The National Society of Collegiate Scholars

Reseña del editor

Success in College provides essential information and advice that students need to better learn more and receive higher grades. It offers strategies for test- and note-taking, studying, writing papers, and making class schedules. Peter F. Burns also gives an insider's perspective to the academic semester, in-class behavior, and how and when to approach professors. Perhaps most importantly, there is invaluable advice about the attitude and work ethic that are essential to the development of outstanding college students. Burns uses his own college experiences, as well as the experiences of other students and professors and research findings, to supplement the material given. The impact of Success in College will last a lifetime. High school seniors, college students, and parents will welcome this humorous and thought-provoking work.
