Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Carla needs to adapt to the new learning environment at college and come up with new strategies to succeed. Simply relying on what worked for her in high school is not enough. "Thinking outside the box" may involve trying new study techniques, seeking help from professors and peers, and being more self-motivated. Moving back home or dropping out of college are extreme and unnecessary options, and indulging in fixations will not help her succeed academically.
