More DescriptionHigher Education has always been slow to adapt pedagogy and delivery-format to their students' ever-changing needs. They also promote faddish programs that are without a research or factual base.Example: during the past two decades, there has been an evolutionary change in freshman students' biological brain-development. (Millennial students in-general are transitioning into adulthood in all dimensions more slowly than prior generations.)Problem: The final college-ready step in brain development is occurring at least two years later than in prior generations. Higher Education has not yet noticed this change, and in fact is claiming that today's students are mentally more (rather than less) mature. Administrators misconstrue computer and game skills with analytical thinking. Based upon this confusion, administrators are moving the college experience earlier in life (rather than later in life): Early College. Pure folly!Within this book are the materials that allow you to assess your own mental maturity-level, and how equipped you are for today's Higher EducationThis book is a "Why am I so out of synch with college, and how do I get synched up?" guide.
