After years of preparation and anticipation, many students
arrive at college without any real knowledge of the ins and outs of
college life. They've been focused on finding the right school and
have been carefully guided through the nuances of the admissions
process, but too often they have little knowledge about how college
will be different from high school or what will be expected of them
during that crucial first year and beyond. Written by an
award-winning teacher, "How to Succeed in College (While Really
Trying) "provides much-needed help to students, offering practical
tips and specific study strategies that will equip them to excel in
their new environment.
Drawing on years of experience teaching at a variety of campuses,
from large research universities to small liberal arts colleges,
Jon B. Gould gives readers the lay of the land and demystifies the
college experience. In the course of the book, students will learn
how to identify the best instructors, how to choose classes and
settle on a major, how to develop effective strategies for reading
and note taking, and how to write good papers and successfully
complete exams.
Because much of the college experience takes place outside of the
classroom, Gould also advises students on how to effectively manage
their cocurricular activities, work obligations, and free time, as
well as how to take advantage of the typically untapped resources
on every campus. With candid advice and insights from a seasoned
insider, this guide will leave students better prepared not only to
succeed in college but to enjoy it as well.
