Ask the Professors

Peek inside your professors' minds... Well, okay, it is just a look inside the minds of two people who might not actually be your professors. But the authors have taught for several years now, and they have time-tested ideas on how students can be successful in college. Get useful tips on how to thrive in the world of academia. The authors cover how to learn, how to study, what to consider when taking online classes, and more. Among other things, Edwards gives you a lot of profound, yet wry, insights, and Holder talks about playing softball (it's a true story and a metaphor). Holder and Edwards met as high school teachers and have gone on to teach at a variety of colleges and universities in Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee. They bring their broad perspectives to bear here on the issue of how to help freshmen succeed in college. Holder is the author of "Devotions with Presidents" and several other books. Edwards' columns have been published by the Washington Times and newspapers across the country. This is a revised edition of the 2012 release "Ask the Professor."
