About this book
Teaching for nearly 40 years, Malcolm Gauld has watched thousands of high school graduates head off to college. After a while, he began to notice some unmistakable patterns — good and bad — relating to students after they hit college. About a decade ago, he began giving an annual talk to high school seniors in hopes of sending them off to college on a positive note. This led to the book College Success Guaranteed: 5 Rules to Make it Happen (Rowman Littlefield, 2011).
Since writing the book, many parents have asked for tips on how they might optimize their son or daughter's college experience. Hence, Malcolm formulated College Success Guaranteed 2.0:5 Rules for Parents, these five simple rules include:
