Your College Experience: Strategies For Success

Written by the leading authorities on the first-year seminar and grounded in research, Your College Experience by John Gardner and Betsy Barefoot offers today’s diverse students the practical help they need to make the transition to college and get the most out of their time there. Goal setting has always been central to this text, and the Tenth Edition has been revised with added coverage and activities to strengthen this material throughout. In addition, a new focus on self-assessment of strengths will help students see where they are already succeeding so that they get off to a great start and stay in college.  A full package of instructional support materials — including an Instructor’s Annotated Edition, Instructor’s Manual, PowerPoint slides, videos, and a Test Bank — provides new and experienced instructors all the tools they will need to engage students in this course and increase student retention.

Though I found this book only moderately useful for myself, it was at least interesting. I give it four stars due to the fact that a high school graduate going into college will find it more applicable/useful.

I was forced to buy this book for a class. I figured given the class's content, the tests would be fairly easy and I wouldn't need the book. I was wrong. The book is loaded with irrelevant, meticulous details that professors love loading test questions with (i.e. "A good study strategy includes: A.) No flexibility for distractions, B.) Studying every few days, C.) Collaborating with others, D.) All of the above. [The answer's C, btw]). It's a simple enough read, though.

This book was sold to me as new but it had some water damage and the cover was turned up on one end. The content is fine for college. It was not new quality thoughIt arrived in excellent condition. No complaints

Love it ... ..... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ... .. .. .. . . Thanks

It is a very nice book overall, the information inside helped me to understand what it took to become a sucessful college student. I only wished that my class had used the book more; it took a decent amount of change to buy it and I did not get the full use out of it that I wanted. Otherwise, it was a good buy overall.

Purchased for my brother's freshman college class on something to do with being successful in college. Seems like absurd and unnecessary material.Good service as usual.

i never mind buying a used text book, even though it was a little over priced it did have normal ware and tare (1 star) very fast shipping, the rest is a two stars thanks though.

I rented it but I would like to buy it. Good reference book. I Read it all. Some things are too obvious but in general was a good book.
