ADDITIONAL ENDORSEMENTS: "Taming the River provides the best analysis yet of the factors influencing the academic performance of different racial groups in selective colleges. It contains an illuminating discussion of how undergraduates divide their time among coursework, social activities, recreation, and other pursuits, and why some students drop out of college or transfer to other institutions. This book will be invaluable to anyone interested in undergraduate education."--Derek Bok, coauthor of The Shape of the River "This is the most detailed and sophisticated analysis of the determinants of student grades that has ever been done. The arguments and data are compelling."--Stephen Cole, State University of New York, Stony Brook "Taming the River is an important contribution to our understanding of the college experience and specifically the factors influencing academic performance of minority students. Using a unique dataset containing an incredible richness of information on college experiences, the authors provide compelling explanations with breadth and depth."--Josipa Roksa, University of Virginia File created: 5/21/2013 | |
