What’s Inside College Rules!
The thorough content of College Rules! includes advice for everything students need to know to adjust to a different form of schooling, including:
- finding help when you need it
- understanding professors
- choosing courses and a major
- adjusting to new demands and a faster pace
- dealing with stress
- staying motivated
- efficiently time management
- using technology
- studying smarter
This practical guide is written primarily to the new college student, but there are tons of helps that will benefit students in any year of college, as well as special sidebars addressed to adult students returning to the classroom later in life. The candid style of this guide makes it fun to read, and the personal stories in the ‘Sad but True’ sections provide examples that reinforce the points the authors make in each chapter. One of the most helpful sections is the chapter on concentration while studying, and the tips are helpful for anyone, not just college students. The authors provide seven ways to improve concentration, as well as a checklist to help students assess their learning environments and deal with inner distractions.
Hopefully, this guide will become dog eared and well used as the next four years pass by. We’re looking forward to a successful start thanks to resources like College Rules!
