Review:
"Your Guide to College Success is a rich textbook to motivate freshman inquiry. Whether you design and teach a learning objectives driven freshman seminar or a text driven one, Your Guide to College Success provides a wide range of information, activities, and assessments from which to select--it's all right here in this one, relatively compact text. Thank you."
"Overall, I think the author's have presented the material clearly and concisely and the students should be able to relate to the way topics have been presented. ...I think all of the topics covered are essential and are ones I cover in my courses. I like the blend of study skills, life skills, technology and campus/community resources."
"I appreciate the psychological approach to the material...Santrock and Halonen have done a great job focusing on the most important issues for beginning students."
"This text does not talk down to students or "dumb down" the information. In fact, I think this text empowers students."
"The information given is more comprehensive....I like the depth and breadth...it's not too detailed but it's not too brief either."
