This book sheds light on the troubling issue of lack of learning among college students. It highlights the fact that many students demonstrate no significant improvement in skills such as critical thinking, complex reasoning, and writing for the first two years in college. The authors' extensive research and analysis of the higher education system points towards a culture that is focused on socializing and working, rather than learning, which demands the attention of students, faculty, administrators, policymakers, and parents. If you are a college student or planning to go to one, this book can help you navigate the potential pitfalls of education in contemporary campus culture.
