About the Book
How to Flunk Out of a Community College: 101 Surefire Strategies That Guarantee Failure is designed as a supplement for the Study Skills, College Success, or Freshman Experience courses taught at most community colleges. There are many college success texts, but this book is different:
-
Instead of telling you how to succeed, it shows you how to fail! That is, the book's sardonic humor and contrarian theme not only separate it from other “how to succeed in college” guides, but targets students who would never read a book on college success.
-
Students often unwittingly sabotage their chances of success by acting in ways that “turn off” their professors. As opposed to books that concentrate solely on student behavior, this book considers the role played by student/professor interaction and gives tips on how students
can interact with professors in ways that maximize their chances of success. -
Existing books are often perceived by students as containing nothing but "common-sense" advice. In contrast, this book is full of non-intuitive information that contradicts students' common misconceptions.
Chock full of vivid examples, fun cartoons and sage advice, this fun guide to failure can be a student's best chance for success!
