  abstract: The unwritten rules of success that every student must follow to thrive in college, The Secret Syllabus equips students with the tools they need to succeed, illuminating the secret rules and important lessons not included in the official curriculum. Left to figure out on their own how the academic world works, students frequently stumble, underperform and miss opportunities. Without a Plan A, too many miss out on the full, rich experience available to them in college. Jay Phelan and Terry Burnham share the essential lessons they have learned over the course of their careers from struggling, unfocused students as well as award-winning college instructors and researchers. The Secret Syllabus draws on Phelan and Burnham's experiences with thousands of undergraduate and graduate students. Weaving engaging storytelling with practical, actionable advice, they illustrate both productive and counterproductive approaches to achieving academic excellence, and highlight the importance of setting and attaining goals, nurturing strong professional relationships, developing resiliency and more. Don't resort to Plan B when your college career is at stake! This fresh, funny, and boldly innovative book reveals the secrets to crafting a rich and rewarding college experience and a promising future.
