Why do some students make the most of college, while others struggle and look back on years of missed deadlines and missed opportunities? How is the increasing diversity on campus--cultural, racial, and religious--affecting education? What can students and faculty do to benefit from differences, and even learn from the inevitable moments of misunderstanding and awkwardness?
Richard Light, a professor in Harvard University’s Graduate School of Education and the John F. Kennedy School of Government, answers these questions in Making the Most of College: Students Speak their Minds. From his 10 years of interviews with Harvard seniors, Light distills encouraging answers to fnated with storiundamental questions. Why do some professors inspire and others leave you cold? How can you connect what you discover in class to all you’re learning in the rest of life?
Filled with practical advice, illumies of real students’ self-doubts, discoveries, and hopes, Making the Most of College is a handbook for academic and personal success.
