A Chronicle of Higher Education "Top 10 Books on Teaching"
Selection Winner of the Virginia and Warren Stone Prize Constrained
by shrinking budgets, can colleges do more to improve the quality
of education? And can students get more out of college without
paying higher tuition? Daniel Chambliss and Christopher Takacs
conclude that the limited resources of colleges and students need
not diminish the undergraduate experience. How College Works
reveals the surprisingly decisive role that personal relationships
play in determining a student's collegiate success, and puts
forward a set of small, inexpensive interventions that yield
substantial improvements in educational outcomes. "The book shares
the narrative of the student experience, what happens to students
as they move through their educations, all the way from arrival to
graduation. This is an important distinction. [Chambliss and
Takacs] do not try to measure what students have learned, but what
it is like to live through college, and what those experiences mean
both during the time at school, as well as going forward." -John
Warner, Inside Higher Ed
