Late work. Absences. Boring classes.
The C grade you were sure would be an A. . . 

These situations, and so many others, happen in college.

In Say This, NOT That to Your Professor: 36 Talking Tips for College Success (NOW Available on Amazon, for your Kindle, at BN.com and in Barnes and Noble stores. Check out the stellar reviews!) , an award-winning, tenured communication professor takes you “inside the faculty mind,” and provides the words your professors wish you’d say to navigate the classroom experience with confidence.

Other college success guides devote maybe one or two chapters to the student-professor dynamic, yet students deal with their professors every single day.

Other college success guides instruct students on what not to do when dealing with professors, but rarely offer the student reasons why the situation happens in the first place, or alternative strategies for a favorable outcome.

Say This, NOT That to Your Professor will help you find your voice in college and give you the power of professional and assertive words to handle class-related issues the right way.

This book will give you inside tips on how to interact so your professors will respond in a positive manner. You’ll learn to create opportunities and properly stand up for yourself, rather than fumble over excuses.

Get ready for improved relationships with your professors, better grades, and an amazing college experience!
