Summary:
"Master time management and you will master college. Thirty percent of college freshman dropout after their first year! And surprisingly, only around half of the students who enroll in college end up graduating with a bachelor's degree! The fact is college is taking longer and longer to get through with less than 60 percent of students who enter four-year schools finish within six years. Your student doesn't have to be one of these statistics! It's not their fault! Students and parents just don't realize the challenges faced in transitioning from high school to college. The skills students learned in high school don't transfer well to the unstructured college environment ... Inside the pages of this book, are valuable insights for students to learn how to schedule their time efficiently, how to stop procrastinating, and how to manage their studies, work, and their personal life"-- Amazon description
