Rezensionen

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
