Understanding and Supporting Adult Learners: A Guide for Colleges and Universities
Frederic Jacobs and Stephen Hundley write in the preface of their book, Understanding and Supporting Adult Learners: A Guide for Colleges and Universities, that their focus is to help colleges and universities understand adult learners. I suggest, however, that this text could also be used as an excellent primer for policymakers, reporters, and others who need a broader understanding of the complex issues involving adult students pursuing a higher education degree.
