It’s that ime of the year where we celebrate the accomplishments of young adults as they transition from High School to their selected adult path in life. For many of them this means going off to college and diving into the high education, But what does it take to be a successful learner in College? What are some techniques that can help you study better and how should you approach time with your professor? For many of us, we simply figured this out on our own, or we dropped out for something else. Well today we have a special gift for all the graduates out there. This week the Nerds welcome friends of the show Jay and Julia Phelan as they discuss Jay’s new book “The Secret Syllabus.” It’s a guide for new higher education students to help them prepare for success in their college career.
