Getting Ready for College?

Do You Want to Get the Most Out of Your Tuition Dollars?
This Book is a Must!



For most college-bound students, there is plenty of advice out there on how to get accepted to a top institution: Study hard, get good grades, participate in extra-curricular activities and write a great essay, among other things.

But what about what comes next? How to succeed once the acceptance letter arrives and a college career begins?

A new book by Anita E. Kelly, professor of psychology at the University of Notre Dame, aims to give students a leg up by offering strategies for top performance in the college classroom.

In “The Clever Student: A Guide to Getting the Most from your Professors,” from Corby Publishing, Kelly offers strategies to college students on such topics as social intelligence and classroom participation, as well as an insider’s perspective on how professors think. The book also provides practical tips for how to handle missed classes or exams, write a great paper for a demanding professor, and get top-notch faculty letters of recommendation.

In conjunction with the book’s release, Kelly also is launching a new Clever Student blog, which can be found on the Web at http://thecleverstudent.com.

“It is my hope that through the book and the blog, I can help students use their social intelligence to get the most out of their professors, including getting very good grades and amazing letters of recommendation,” Kelly said. “At the very least, I hope they will help students feel better about confusing or upsetting interactions with their professors.”
