If high schools stopped assuming they know exactly what their college experience will be like, then perhaps the student would be aware in advance of the obstacles that may arise. I also agree that the college professor assumes too much that it's the high school's fault that they didn't teach their students the way the professor wants their students to be prepared. If they told students exactly what was expected of them, they wouldn't need to complain. I agree with the author when he says that no one can predict a student's experience because everything is different. It all depends on what the professor wants and it doesn't matter if the student is a good student in other subjects. Marie behaved badly because she did what she wanted and did not develop the skill of what the professor wanted. I agree with the basic adaptation explained by the author, but I think time management was the most important. The others are not as great as time management because time is dangerous when it is wasted and not used properly
