Miami,
FL
(BlackNews.com) - Students, parents and mentors who want to
know the right questions to ask before, during and after making
important decisions about college will find them in the College
FAQ Book: Over 5,000 Not Frequently Asked Questions About
College! With questions categorized into thirty subject
areas that cover every possible detail of the college experience,
readers can literally sit down with this pocket-size book
and, when talking on the telephone or in front of a college
official, go down the list to make sure they get all the information
they need.
The first
and only comprehensive book of questions on the college experience,
the College FAQ Book gives readers questions they would
never have thought of on their own; and helps them discover
which important questions they are not asking. Whether students
are on a college tour, meeting with an academic advisor, trying
to register for classes or putting together a dissertation
committee, they will always have a set of relevant, thought-provoking
questions to ask.
Writer's
Digest
magazine commented "A student can refer to this manual
at each step of the college process from admission to
graduation. It actively forces its reader to seek out
(and think about) the answers to its questions, rather
than sit back and have those answers provided. The author
leaves no stone unturned when it comes to college facts."
Author Rozalia Williams is President of Hidden Curriculum
Education, Inc., which was featured in Black Enterprise
magazine (May 2005). She earned a doctorate from Harvard
University with a concentration in Higher Education
Administration. Dr. Williams said "Too many students
with high academic credentials are not graduating from
college because they think high schools and colleges
operate in the same manner; they think all colleges
are alike; and they think fictional accounts of college
life seen on television or in movies is the reality.
Unfortunately, when they go to college they find themselves
overwhelmed and eventually end up back at home wondering
what happened. The College FAQ Book sheds light
on this erroneous thinking. Instead of going to college
feeling pressured, readers will go feeling empowered
and better prepared."
The College
FAQ Book makes a perfect graduation gift or scholarship
prize. Parents and educators will want to make sure
their students take one to college. Teachers can use
it in the classroom to launch a group discussion, role
play, conduct mock interviews, assign test questions,
structure homework projects and plan a treasure hunt.
Clubs and organizations can use it as a fund-raiser.
