Authored by John Santrock, a prominent developmental psychologist and Jane Halonen, a leader in critical thinking, this text/ CD-ROM package will appeal to instructors of College Success courses who want to emphasize active learning strategies and student self-awareness in pursuit of college success goals. Innovative yet pedagogically sound, it integrates the advantages of both print and CD-ROM technology to address course topics from the standpoint of the individual student. The text also includes in-depth coverage of critical campus issues such as gender, diversity, and values. The second edition has been substantially revised with new, integrated themes, based on what instructors at several institutions said they wanted in a book. The authors have reorganized and reduced the number of chapters to place a much stronger emphasis on active strategies. A new chapter devoted entirely to managing time effectively, expanded and improved coverage of learning styles, earlier treatment of values and career exploration, new and improved learning and study aids, a dynamic new design and layout, and a line-by-line revision of the existing material.

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."
