A rather quick read. Most of what this book offers are solutions that probably work well in the narrow context in which the authors conducted their research. As someone who teaches at a community college, most of the suggestions just don't apply in such a vastly different context. I liked some of comments at the end regarding innovation and assessment. Otherwise, unless one is really in the same setting, relevance will be hard to find.

I'm reading this for a book club, but so far I find it pretty long-winded. There is a lot of information that seems pretty obvious without too much rigorous analysis (discourse or coding or otherwise, yet).

My boyfriend explained it best:

Me: I don't like this book.
Boyfriend: What's it about?
Me: [reads the back jacket cover of the book] "human interactions remain central to most students' college experience[s]."
Boyfriend: Yeah, partying. You could just look at their Facebook pages.

Bingo.

Now, I recognize there are interesting bits; one or two professors or friends can inspire and change a student's life. That's great to know.

Read it shortly after I first bought it in Iowa City in 1989. Re-read it in 2015. Less description of training than I remembered. Not sure I totally buy Chambliss's conclusion--that champions are made totally through actions. I do think genetics has some role. If I had the option, I'd have given it 3.5 stars.
