Getting the college edge

Getting the College Edge focuses on practical strategies to help students—both traditional and non-traditional—progress from college to career, through the discussion of topics such as working in groups, making presentations, conducting meetings, and listening. Two separate chapters, Developing Positive Relationships and Communicating Effectively, focus on relating to professors and advisors, and emphasize the need for students to prepare for the college years and beyond.Communication activities throughout the text reinforce effective communication, enabling students to practice the skills taught in Chapter 9.Case Studies close every chapter and provide opportunities for students to practice their critical thinking abilities and review the skills they have just learned.Working in Groups sections provide techniques for working in this format.
