A College Instructor Gives the Secrets to Succeeding in College

By Anonymous

METRO ATLANTA - Millions of students each year enter college hoping to obtain a college degree at the end of their studies. Parents, students, extended families, companies and organizations have invested millions of dollars to helping students succeed in college. Research has shown though, that not all students who attend a college will graduate. In fact, many will drop out for one reason or another. Others may graduate but may not be happy with the collegiate experience they had.

In "Giving Away the Keys: A Professor Unlocks the Secrets to College Success", author Bruce Gibbs, a college instructor, gives students the edge they need to make college successful and fun. He gives good advice on topics such as class attendance, grading, credit cards, studying and dating. In this easy to read and uplifting book Gibbs gives students a snapshot of what college life is like and how they can make the most of their college experience. “Students can do more than just get by”, Gibbs says, “they can succeed and make college graduation not just a dream but a reality.”

“Gibbs’ short, smart, helpful book is what every parent of a college student would want their son or daughter to consider. It is sensible advice about how to deal with the pressures and possibilities of college--from the risks of credit cards to the worth of punctual class attendance. It beats Ann Landers at sensible advice giving without moralistic cant."
