"A practical guide of immense value to both students and their supporters as they deal with the new and different challenges posed by the transition from high school to college academics." -George Ballinger, Director of Family Affairs and Veterans Affairs, University of Colorado, Boulder
“It is a must read for our junior and senior students” -Andrea Sabadosh , Jefferson County Colorado, International Baccalaureate Program Coordinator
“Perceptive and useful from a practical viewpoint. An easy read, I have no doubt incoming freshmen will benefit from its insights.” -Anthony Chatham, Professor, Tulane University
1 in 4 college freshmen do not return for sophomore year. 45% of college freshmen will never graduate. 65% of college students feel they have underachieved. Why?
Every college student can succeed academically and obtain a high GPA. The reason so many college students underperform is because they’re not taught how to transition from the structured high school environment to the unstructured college academic environment. The Strategic Student teaches high school seniors and college underclassmen how to make this transition and become more self-reliant. The author served as a college professor, academic advisor, and administrator at the University of Colorado in Boulder. As a freshmen professor and advisor, he collected lessons and study habits he learned from his students and later returned to school to take undergraduate classes to test and refine the strategies covered in this book. The Strategic Student is the only book that offers a student, professor, and advisor perspective along with tested and proven academic strategies.

Store description
With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.…
