Keys to College Success Compact (Keys Franchise) - Softcover

"The authors deeply believe that 'It's not just what you know...it's what you know how to do.' I think Keys to Success is very good for our audience, and the greatest strength in my view are the reflections, activities, and case studies that help students think about and discuss these issues. Yes students need support but my experience is that THE WORDS have little effect, it's WHAT THEY DO WITH THE WORDS - exercises and activities that help." --Julie Stein, California State University-East Bay "It is in the process of productive struggle, deliberate practice, and making explicit connections that we can realize that educational risk-taking is the only way to assure that every option for our future remains open to us." --Dede deLaughter, Gainesville State College
