Say This, Not That to Your Professor: 20 Talking Tips for College Success is dedicated to the student-professor relationship and provides students with the exact words they need to competently and confidently deal with challenging classroom situations.

Readers learn how to professionally communicate in common classroom situations, such as overcoming grade confusion, respectfully challenging a professor, dealing with zeroes and extra credit, and managing late work or absences. The text covers ways to professionally interact during office hours, via email/social media, and when asking for a letter of recommendation. Finally, readers gain self-advocacy strategies for particularly challenging interactions, such as when the class is too boring or too difficult, when feedback is unclear, or when the whole class fails.

The third edition features newly written material throughout, fresh organization, and a condensed, streamlined presentation. Additionally, the book includes new quotes from both industry professionals and professors at the end of each chapter to provide students with real-world examples and insight on a range of topics.

Say This, Not That to Your Professor is ideal for courses in college success, first-year experience programs, communication, English as a second language, and international orientation courses.
