Book excerpt: A Beginner's Guide to College Success is designed to address a wide range of topics that are of interest to aspiring or new college students, including financial decisions, choosing an area of study, adapting to new responsibilities, managing time wisely, and more. The guide begins by introducing the reader to the way college is structured and walking the reader through the preparations required to embark upon a college career. Preliminary chapters help the reader explore the value of a college education, begin to consider a major, and better understand the role credits, grades, and degrees play in the higher education system. Later chapters address the challenges different types of students--military veterans, those with disabilities, and student athletes, to name a few--may face as they transition from high school to college. These chapters also cover best practices for communicating with faculty members, succeeding in large lecture classes, dealing with reading assignments, how to get the most out of online learning, and more. The guide closes with a collection of chapters dedicated to studying, preparing for exams, and taking advantage of campus resources, including the library, to bolster personal learning. Full of tips and practical advice, A Beginner's Guide to College Success is a useful resource for any student considering college and wondering how it differs from high school.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many people think that because they have survived high school and are in college, they know how to study and learn- but skills needed to survive college cannot be left to chance. Taking a learning strategies, study skills, or college survival course is probably one of the best things you can do to ensure college success. This book reflects the belief that students can be taught how to learn more efficiently; they need to be told why these strategies work. They also need hands-on reinforcement of what they learn in class. This book is also intended to empower students by providing them with the tools necessary to make maximum use of their memory and thereby improve their job performance, school achievement, and personal success.

What if you didn't have to force students to read their college success textbook? The Snarktastic Guide to College Success takes an alternative approach as "the unvarnished, usually-said-behind-your-back truth about what really matters, straight from college students, alums, faculty, staff, and administrators." And that's exactly what you'll find. So go ahead, assign it - and marvel as students actually read it. This alternative approach to college success strategies focuses on presenting information in a different tone. In terms of information, this is the sort of advice that students used to have to get from older and wiser fellow students, from TAs feeling exceptionally generous one day after class, or from (horrors!) figuring it out themselves. The trouble with learning these lessons on your own is that by the time you figure it out, you've either nearly or already graduated. This book allows incoming students to 'figure it out' in time to put it to use. And the alternative tone -- the 'snark' in Snarktastic -- is what makes all that wholesome, mentally nutritious information go down easy, like the chocolate coating on a granola bar. The Snarktastic Guide to College Success recognizes most students respond well to a humorous, informed style, like the The Onion (http://www.theonion.com) of textbooks, if you will. Funny, irreverent, honest, and chock-full of useful stuff. It's all here, from choosing a seat on the first day of class to how paying attention to who's wearing backpacks can save a lot of grief. And that only scratches the snarky surface...!
