Synopsis

For courses in College Orientation, College Success, Personal Development or Transitional Studies.

 

Navigating the first year of college can be overwhelming–new procedures, courses, and expectations can make the experience unfamiliar, even intimidating. The College Awareness Guide: What Students Need to Know to Succeed in College demystifies the experience by introducing readers to many of the new concepts and procedures they will encounter during their first year of college. Covering a broad range of topics, it stresses basic knowledge over specific skills and includes material not discussed in many texts. It is brief and affordable–packing information into less than 150 pages–and contains over 170 references to valuable web sites, books, and tutorials.

A propos du livre

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

The College Awareness Guide is a unique reference appropriate as a full text in any freshman-level orientation course or as a supplemental text for any introductory level course, especially psychology and personal development.  Previous brief editions, titled The College Survival Guide, have sold nearly 100,000 copies.  Using an innovative approach, Bruce M. Rowe emphasizes the basics needed for success and provides extensive resources and suggested readings, including a rich array of internet-based reference material.  The College Awareness Guide is designed to help students learn and develop the skills they need to succeed in college.  Rowe presents the material in conversational, engaging tone as if a student has dropped by his office for advice.
