This book is a practical guide to everything a student can do to avoid failing in college. While other books tell you to "work hard and study," this book gives the real advice that nobody ever tells students. How do you find or avoid the bogus professors? How do you find or avoid the bogus courses? What traps have college administration set up to get you to fail and be on campus for extra years? What should you really be doing during each part of the semester, each year of your college career? How do you know the best major for getting a job? How can you plagiarize without getting caught? What do you say to an administrator to get your F turned into another grade? How do you not get cheated by a community college? What's the proper way to use an online school? What questions should you really ask about your degree program before you sign up? These questions, and many, many more questions that students never think to ask--but should -- are answered here. Students spend thousands and thousands of dollars on college tuition, and many students fail, making it all wasted money. This book can make that investment pay off. Whether you're just now thinking of college, just enrolled, or currently failing a course, all options, from talking to the professor to cheating to study methods for the retake, and more, are discussed. A bonus chapter, the slacker's guide to getting a degree, tells you, from the ground up, how you can get a degree from an accredited institution with the least amount of effort possible
