Theyre not the students strolling across the bucolic liberal arts campuses where their grandfathers played football. They are firstgeneration college studentschildren of immigrants and bluecollar workerswho know that their hopes for success hinge on a degree.But college is expensive, unfamiliar, and intimidating. Inexperienced students expect tough classes and demanding, remote faculty. They may not know what an assignment means, what a score indicates, or that a single grade is not a definitive measure of ability. And they certainly dont feel entitled to be there. They do not presume success, and if they have a problem, they dont expect to receive help or even a second chance.Rebecca D. Cox draws on five years of interviews and observations at community colleges. She shows how students and their instructors misunderstand and ultimately fail one another, despite good intentions. Most memorably, she describes how easily students can feel defeatedby their realworld responsibilities and by the demands of collegeand come to conclude that they just dont belong there after all.Eyeopening even for experienced faculty and administrators, The College Fear Factor reveals how the traditional college culture can actually pose obstacles to students success, and suggests strategies for effectively explaining academic expectations.
