College Success: Before, During and After

College educators across the Country would likely agree that incoming freshmen are arriving on their campuses ill-prepared for the academic challenges that lay before them. As a result, many of them struggle to maintain their enrollment beyond one or two semesters. This unfortunate trend has made a textbook such as this one, “College Success: Before, During, and After” an absolute necessity.

Within this 2^nd edition textbook students will discover information about essential learning skills (e.g., note taking, test taking, reading, writing, memory, critical thinking); life skills (e.g., time management, goal setting, maintaining relationships, coping with problems); and career skills (e.g., choosing a career, resume writing, interviewing skills, proper coworker interactions). In short, everything they need to succeed before, during, and after they’ve earned their college degree.

Available in print and electronic formats, College Success: Before, During, and After is designed to be both informative and entertaining. Each chapter contains a wide variety of exercises, practical examples, assignments, and review questions that are purposely designed to improve students’ learning and retention of essential information.

The use of crossword and word search puzzles offers a unique opportunity for students to review information and emphasize key terminology.

Motivational and thought provoking quotations are sprinkled throughout the textbook. Each of which was purposely selected and positioned to correspond with the topic being presented.

The informal writing style and colorful caricatures draw readers’ attention to the material and reduce the intimidation factor that accompanies many textbooks today.
