Praise for the previous edition

"Drawing heavily on his experience with dual-enrollment programs in Michigan and Massachusetts, as well as others around the country, Olwell offers a practical overview of the benefits and challenges of these programs and a working theory as to why they’re often as fragile as they are.

It touches, too, on student mental health, the unique issues facing STEM classes, the unique issues facing social science classes (THANK YOU), and the outsize mind space taken up by the selective college admission process when drawing up policies."

Matt Reed, from the review in Inside Higher Ed
