How to Flunk Out of a Community College is designed as a supplement for the Study Skills or College Success courses taught at most community colleges. There are similar texts, but this book is DIFFERENT! Cari Cannon's vignettes are more engaging than comparable books, she uses a "tell it like it is" style and incorporates humor throughout.Instead of telling students how to succeed, this text shows students how to fail! The sardonic humor and contrarian theme not only separate it from other "how to succeed in college" guides, but targets students who would never read a book on college success.Students often unwittingly sabotage their chances of success by acting in ways that "turn off" professors. As opposed to books that concentrate solely on student behavior, this book considers the role played by student/professor interaction and gives tips on how students can interact with professors in ways that maximize their chances of success.Existing books are often perceived by students as containing nothing but "common-sense" advice. In contrast, this book is full of non-intuitive information that contradicts students' misconceptions. Full of vivid examples, fun cartoons, and great advice, this fun-filled guide to failure can be a student's best chance for success!Cannon, Cari B. is the author of 'How to Flunk Out of a Community College 101 Surefire Strategies That Guarantee Failure', published 2005 under ISBN 9780757525032 and ISBN 0757525032.
