Reviews "This book does a great job in leading students from teacher directed learners to autonomous learners. Preface Preface is available for download in PDF format. The book takes a cohesive and holistic approach to learning. It avoids taking a skills-based approach and does not introduce skills in isolation from content.
Students are provided a framework from which to view learning both inside and outside the classroom and from both the cognitive and affective domains of learning. In each chapter. The book fosters students academic growth at all levels of the postsecondary learning continuum. Written to support students including: first-generation, traditional-age, part- and full-time, those attending 2- and 4-year colleges and universities, returning students, enrolled in summer bridge programs, on probation or returning from suspension, and preparing for graduate study.
Update of collegiate learning from a neuroscience perspective, both theory and practice. An exciting new approach to academic success for college students that brings together current theory and research from neuroscience, education, educational psychology, cognitive psychology, and related fields.
Each chapter connects theory to practice learning frameworks in an easy-to-read and interesting format. This is NOT your typical student success book! It is different, fresh, scholarly, and academically creditable. In each chapter NEW! The latest neurobiological research explains and validates both cognitive and self-regulatory theories and practices, including new content on a variety of topics.
Real world examples are provided throughout to help students relate to the content and theory and to develop a deep understanding of how and why they learn and behave , and help them manage difficult situations. Refinement of self-regulation theory and practice based on new understanding of habit formation, decision-making, and willpower. The book fosters a self-discovery approach so students learn to monitor and regulate their own learning which allows students to become more autonomous in their learning.
Each chapter Study Aids: Various enhancements offer students a better learning experience. Learning objectives for each chapter, as Questions to focus on as you explore this chapter.
Beginning of chapter. Each chapter begins with a brief preview of the chapter Case Study that allow students to apply the content to a real situation for each topic. Pre-chapter self-assessments reflect content changes and allow students to recognize where they stand in relationship to the topic and tailor each chapter to fit their own needs.
Students assess their knowledge of strategies and internalize their strengths and areas for improvement. The flow of this book is smooth. The topics, theme, message, are all clear and easy to comprehensible.
There is no index or glossary, but I don't think it needs it. It has a good Table of Contents, which is sufficient for navigating the book. This isn't a book that would be necessarily accurate, but I do think that it reflects the reality multiple realities of new college students; I think it would be more likely to be used by students living together in a dorm or a freshman interest group than non-traditional students, though.
Highly relevant for new students making the transition from high school to college, or from being out of school for a while to college. This was a good feature of the book!
The exercises and supplementary material self-tests, reflection activities, etc. This could definitely be divided up into nightly or weekly readings to use over the course of a semester, and there are parts of it that can be removed and used by themselves. No problems here. While it is probably meant to be used as a whole and makes sense that way , it could be taken apart.
This was fine. It was easy to read. There was a misspelling though right in the beginning of the book - the second author's introduction is spelled "ahutor" or something. Check that. This was great! There was actually a chapter on diversity, but each chapter was written to appeal to people from different backgrounds e.
No, I think I'll pull a chapter to use for one of my classes that has mostly Freshmen in it, though. This book does a great job covering most of the aspects of college life from academics to satisfying and healthy social lives. One of the areas I would like to see additional content is in the section on critical thinking in the chapter entitled One of the areas I would like to see additional content is in the section on critical thinking in the chapter entitled "Thinking about Thought".
The book is well-written and long portions of text are often broken up with quiz type questions that engage the reader and encourage reflection. I used this text for a seminar-style class for incoming freshman and was able to "cherry pick" relevant sections to assign without impacting my students' abilities to understand the content; the chapters work well on their own and can be assigned in a different order than they appear in the book.
I did have some possibly browser related issues getting past the first page of each chapter using the direct page link, but after I linked the book into my University's course management software client, it was very easy to use. The book offers a section on diversity that is relatively comprehensive from the point of view of showcasing the benefits of a diverse campus but did not really talk about what students who may identify as being in minority groups might do if they were not feeling included in the campus culture.
College Success is a solid textbook exploring issues related to a college student's first years. It would best be used as part of the curriculum in freshman seminar or information literacy classes. College Success is a detail oriented text for students new to higher education. The wide array of topics included are those that can assist on how to be a successful first year college student. The length of the book is a concern, but the content The length of the book is a concern, but the content is very well summarized.
I'm unsure if students would actually take the time to read it thoroughly. It could be a valuable text if used in a success course or as supplementatl instruction in a new student colloquia. This could also be useful as an online first semester course with follow up guidance from an advisor or counselor. It's also generic and applicable to a variety of students. Very comprehensive overall! The textbook is accurate as the title and topics indicate.
It is thorough and has an easy flow to it. It's a text that could be useful with guidance from an instructor, advisor, peer mentor, etc. The content appears up to date. Topics included are those that will affect any indvidual in a school setting. It focuses on self exploration and how to make the most out of one's own college experiences. Students will get out of it what they put into it. Topics are very well organized and straightforward. It is a long book but all items are relevant.
The book is very thorough and forthright. Some items are repetive but for a valid reason. It serves as self-reflection to proceed to the next topic. The text is divided in sections with appropriate content such as pre-assessments, excercises, and post assessment included. It would be difficult to use in a group student setting, unless the chapters are completed before class, to then have a discussion in class within small group settings.
The topics are clearly covered, but some chapters appear lenghtier than others. It does have a good flow though. There are some redundancies but the flow is great. When other chapters are highlighted within a context, they are not hyperlinked to be able to refer to easily. It is probably listed as a referral but not in a format to get one 'off-topic'. It would help if they were hyperlinked to open in another window.
It is inclusive of various populations but not research focused. It's practical for a new college student. I sincerely appreciate the opportunity to use this book with first year students at no cost to them.
Thanks Creative Commons licensing. The book layout makes it easy to include supplemental materials applicable to a specific institution. It is formatted as a workbook or practical guide for the student that chooses to be successful.
Relevant for a first year student. I find this text to be greatly comprehensive. It includes all topics of a traditional student success text. I found that the chapters were very in depth on each topic. This text was published in Information contained in general student success text books typically have a fairly long shelf life.
I have worked with several publishers during my career. I find it helpful to customize the text to the institution. Again, the general information doesn't change too much; however, connecting students to the institution and their academic departments early is critical for student success, retention and persistence. Again, the college success text is relevant for extended periods of time. The skills and strategies are time tested and proven to enhance student success.
The text is written on the appropriate reading level for students entering college. I find the chunking of information helpful. This encourages students to skim and read the information. The learning objectives at the beginning of each chapter provides needed structure for most first year students. I have found that many first year students enter college with underdeveloped student success skills study skills, time management, applying critical thinking, etc.
Furthermore, they come from environments that were structured and guided. The frame work and consistency is critical, especially with a text about college success. In talking with colleagues from other institutions, we all seem to struggle with the first year seminar content being valued by the students Many times, this happens when students find themselves on academic probation or at risk of being suspended.
Being clear to students about the subject matter and explaining to them up front why it is important are key to the success. I like the way this text is formatted. Although somewhat static file, it provides engagement through the sections at the beginning "Where Are You Now?
I find this to be a great hook to get students thinking about their college career. As well, the takeaways and exercises keep students active with the content. I also like the links back to information.
The text follows a logical sequence for content; however, it also lends itself to the flexibility for instructors to cover information in varying sequences. This is where I find the ability to customize the text to the institution helpful. Based on student feedback, when I have covered information out of order, they report that they sometimes get confused.
With that said, part of college success is to learn to follow your syllabus and be responsible. The information is definitely presented in a logical sequence for first year students. Sequencing the first year seminar curriculum is always a challenge, because we believe that students need all of the information early in the semester. I did not encounter any problems access or saving the document.
All material was visible and readable. This textbook is written to address first year students regardless of culture or background.
The pictures used throughout the text invite a diverse reader population. I enjoyed the opportunity to review this text. As the Director of our First-Year Seminar, I am always looking affordable, relevant and engaging material for students. Over the past several years, we moved away from using a textbook for multiple reasons, but price being the biggest barrier. After review this text, as part of OER, I would consider using such materials in the future.
College Success is ambitious in its scope, covering a wide range of variables that can affect students' ability to succeed in college. Student affairs practitioners will appreciate this holistic approach to addressing the factors that might Student affairs practitioners will appreciate this holistic approach to addressing the factors that might impact student retention.
Chapter subject matter ranges from basic time management skills, to a focus on financial and physical well-being. Students should find the interactive nature of the book appealing, working through the reflective questions in self-inventories that are provided at the start of each chapter.
The book provides a platform for students to analyze their readiness for college, while consistently offering practical tips for navigating relationships, resources, and self-regulation. Quizzes, graphics, and activities all provide ways for students to synthesize chapter lessons. The index of topics is well ordered, making it easy for students to find answers to specific challenges they may be facing. The book is written to be accessible to students who are working to understand the college experience and the challenges they may encounter.
The information provided is developed as opinion and advice, interspersed with references to learning models and strategies. This textbook is relevant to today's student.
Those who are familiar with student retention issues understand that a wide variety of factors may prevent students from progressing towards graduation. Whether intrinsic motivation issues, lack of academic preparedness, or financial struggles, this book asks students to take a realistic view of their circumstance, while providing explicit strategies for resolving their challenges.
The language of College Success lends itself to being accessible to most students. Although new students may not understand the relevance of some topics e. Another strength of the books is the consistent message of "college is different from high school. The clearly identified learning outcomes articulated at the beginning of each chapter should be helpful to students seeking answers and strategies for success.
If this text were assigned for a first-year success seminar, the instructor could easily pick and choose among the chapters, to provide a learning experience most relevant to the class. The book provides a way to capture student interest with inventories on the topic at hand, then build on that engagement with a sequencing of subjects that may occur as the semester progresses. Basic academic strategies are presented first, followed by information on relationships, and, health and wellness topics.
The information is ordered to anticipate what students may need to know at pivotal moments during the academic year. The book incorporates a section on diversity, which examines different aspects of diversity, and promotes the benefits of being part of an inclusive community.
This book is practical, relevant, and crafts its message in an accessible format for new students. With class conversation and interaction, this would make a beneficial first-year seminar text.
The College Success textbook covers everything a College student should know during their first semester in college. The text covers everything from self-assessment questionnaires to career exploration.
Comprehensiveness rating: 3 see less. The text appears accurate in providing thought provoking chapter review that helps students evaluate the learning objectives for each chapter. The textbook content is up-to-date and students will find the information relevant to their personal and academic lives. Language within the text is relatable and adequate for students enrolled in a first year seminar course.
Terminology and framework used in the text is consistent and students will not have any issues understanding the text contents. Cultural relevance were good but more information needs to be added to the diversity section of the text. Really liked the information on the campus groups because it helps students think about the value of extra-curricular activities in college.
Reviewed by Dawn Kennedy, Ed. College Success is a comprehensive text, covering a wide variety of relevant topics and activities. A broad range of topics are covered such as interacting with instructors and classes; staying motivated, organized and on track; study skills; A broad range of topics are covered such as interacting with instructors and classes; staying motivated, organized and on track; study skills; goal setting; time management; and personal health choices, to name a few.
Each chapter begins with learning objectives and is followed by practical information, supportive activities, and Key Takeaways. Using the text as a tool for First Year Experience courses may be the best use of this text. Using it as a stand-alone text may be more challenging as it is quite lengthy and there is no glossary or index PDF format. As a community college health education instructor, I can verify that the goal setting, time management, health and well-being components of the text are accurate.
These skills can help lessen some stress students may experience when adjusting to college life. The authors use sound educational strategies to guide the reader through the text. The material and content are relevant. This instructor believes it may be necessary to update the tools to meet current electronic media available to students to enhance longevity of the text.
The textbook is clearly written and easy to understand. The supportive activities are well developed and easy to work through. The text can easily be divided into smaller reading sections which can be used at different points throughout a course or for individual use. The topics in the text are presented in a clear, logical fashion as is, yet can be re-organized to suit the needs or desired of the instructor and learners.
Most of the text is easy to follow. Of concern however, is the blank space between some headings and the content which was awkward PDF format and could use improving. The textbook is culturally sensitive and non-offensive. The information includes discussion evolving around students of all ages and with diverse backgrounds.
It speaks to traditional students, returning students, first-generation students, recent immigrant and international students and students with disabilities.
The photos display a wide variety of student ages and ethnicities. Good information for those new or returning to the college experience! Very comprehensive book for a first year students. I believe some of the content and chapters would be helpful for these students as well, especially those who may have graduated from a I believe some of the content and chapters would be helpful for these students as well, especially those who may have graduated from a school that did not provide support for their undergraduate students.
I would like to see more on AVIDs cornell notes. Materials are clear, unbiased, and accurate. It's approach is made for ALL students at varying levels of experience. The information is relevant to ALL students in college. It's timely and includes methods that will be used throughout time.
I can remember some of the content being shared with me, and as a first generation student, it was this type of content that helped me success in school. The text is written clear and to the intended audience. I appreciate the consistency of the formatting including the learning objectives, content, and optional activities. Everything is at the professors fingertips and students can return to the text when needed. This would be wonderful for our Freshmen Experience class.
I appreciate the organization of the text as it provides modules that can be tied into course content in a way that doesn't require TOO much additional reading. Additionally, students can visit other modules long after our class, and will be comfortable knowing that each module is set up in a way that is familiar and will make sense. The goal is for them to be able to continue the use of the text and it's content throughout their academic careers.
It is easy to navigate through the book. This is not always the case for online textbooks, but I found the links to be useful,allowing for navigation between chapters and areas within chapters.
It's fairly simply to find what you need when you need it rather easily. This textbook is one that I would consider for a college success class for undergraduate as well as some graduate students. I love that I could share this text with those who need it.
This text offers a practical approach to guiding students through their first year of college. It is well organized, clearly written and relevant. The text includes both academic and nonacademic considerations finance, career, etc.
Both are Both are balanced throughout each chapter and section, giving students an integrated look at their college experience. Topics are presented in logical order with acknowledgement of best practice and room for student interpretation. Material is consistent with similar texts reviewed as support for first year college students.
Issues addressed in the text include traditional considerations, such as balancing time or deciding on an academic major, as well as more timely considerations including critical thinking and problem solving. References for utilizing web resources are also included. Checkpoint and chapter exercises encourage students to reflect when applying text material to their own situations. The table contents is comprehensive. Chapters and subsections are organized and well detailed in the table of contents.
The checkpoint exercises are consistently named and appear in regular patterns throughout each chapter. Topics are well differentiated. Flow exists between chapters. Each chapter includes delineated subsections, each beginning with learning objectives.
Checkpoint exercises and extension activities are clearly labeled. Chapters and subsections are easy to access in web interface. Navigation is user friendly. However, some issues with page break organization in PDF version. No cultural insensitivities exist. Having taught first year seminars for a number of years, the numerous topics covered within the text are the traditional topics for student success including study skill, college orientation and personal choice strategies.
This textbook includes This textbook includes a thorough list of topics for a first year course. Evidence based practices are located throughout the textbook; however, at times content becomes subjective.
Citation of evidence based research would better support accuracy. The comprehensive topics included contribute to the longevity of the text and would allow for content to be updated easily. Relevance to the target population is unclear. More relevant images and activities would likely better connect learners to this resource. This textbook avoids educational jargon and confusing terms or language.
The content is clearly stated. Navigation is challenging as the PDF had no table of contents or index. Navigation through the table of contents and hyperlinks are effective and chunk content into smaller sections. The topics in the text are presented in a logical manner. Organization may be as simple as instructor preference. A personal preference for organization would begin with college orientation, then follow with study skill strategies, life management strategies, then choosing your major, diversity, critical thinking, etc.
Defined topics are distinct enough so an instructor could rearrange as needed. Page breaks were odd within the PDF at times, headings followed by no content, until the next page, and activities broken in awkward places within tables.
There could be improved flow within the PDF, page breaks, and content organization. Images and content appear to be culturally sensitive and includes a variety of relationships, diversity and values. Overall, this was a great textbook that can be an asset to learners. The topics included are comprehensive and well organized! Throughout my years of teaching our first year experience course, I find concise content followed by engaging activities is a best practice for student learning.
Since this text is over pages, the content is text heavy and may impede engagement. All in all a great option! Reviewed by Lauren J. Addresses many topics common in college success textbooks. Occasional use of terms or assumptions about vocabulary that may impact some readers. No obvious glossary. Students and faculty will benefit from the comprehensive discussion of college writing. This book is current regarding the challenges and benefits of face to face vs.
These sections as well as others will be easy to update. In general students will find this book easy to read due to the conversational style and word choice of the authors. However, there are some words used that will require checking with faculty or other sources to assist in determining meaning. The authors delve into some topics in greater detail than others. Faculty may need to help students understand what a syllabus is and provide support in developing note-taking skills.
I struggled with recognizing the organization of the first chapter. Anecdotes occur more often in some sections than others. Some chapters contain essential information at the end which may require faculty to underscore. Very comprehensive book for a first year experience course!
The text is organized well and the table of contents makes using the online text simple to navigate. The topic itself can have a slant of opinion since transition issues or tips cannot be as scientific as a math problem. Overall I felt that the text was accurate, error-free, and unbiased. The content within the book is relevant to first-year students for a long period of time. This book is perfect for diving up into smaller reading sections for course sessions!
You can pick it up at any point to reference or refer students to a particular portion with ease. The interface is clear and easy to navigate! The display features enhance the opportunity for learning. The text covers all of the typical topics for a college success textbook. The number of chapters can easily be covered in a 16 week semester. I did not see a glossary or index listed with the text. I think a glossary is essential for students I think a glossary is essential for students new to college.
The accuracy of the text was beyond question. I did not find any errors or bias in the text. The pictures included many types of students. Because the topics are so general and do not contain many statistics, the basic concepts presented are fairly timeless.
I think this text would not have to be updated frequently. Any terminology that may be unfamiliar to students is clearly explained.
Steps for different skills are outlined in a clear and concise manner. The reading level appears to be appropriate for community college students whose reading level may not be at college level. The text is consistent and it would be easy to assign different sections.
The use of checkpoints and key concepts keeps the student focused on the important concepts explained in the chapter. Chapter 6 did not have the section at the end entitled Takeaways. I think the takeaway section is good for students who may not read the entire chapter but would at least review this section. I love the modularity of the text. Breaking the chapter into sections creates a feeling of having accomplished something by completing each section.
The reader is not overwhelmed by the amount to be read. It could be compared to trying to eat an entire cake at one time or just enjoying the cake one bite at a time. For the most part, I agree with the organization of the text except for the section on choosing a major. Students need to link a major to their career choice, but choosing a major should be discussed earlier in the semester. The layout of the text is easy to read and navigate.
Images were clear and not too intrusive. Charts were easy to understand and appropriately placed within the explanation of the topic. Moving back and forth between pages or skipping to another chapter was easily accomplished. The text was very careful to be inclusive insofar as race and ethnicity was concerned. I did not notice any differently abled students in the pictures.
The pictures showed a variety of activities using a variety of students Most of the students appeared to be traditional students. Community colleges often have many non traditional students. I am very interested in piloting this text with our students because of the cost and interactive nature of the text. The frequent inventories that allow the student to examine themselves, their beliefs and skill levels should maintain their interest.
It is truly a text that is all about them. The textbook covers the major topics for student success that would be expected in a book that is now several years old. It has substantial chapters on adapting to college and, to its credit, includes small parts that are directed at It has substantial chapters on adapting to college and, to its credit, includes small parts that are directed at non-traditional learners in addition to the primary audience of just-out-of-high-school learners, making it useful at a community college level.
However, it does not include enough information about online learning to be used as a comprehensive guide for students who may be taking primarily online or hybrid classes. As an example, Chapter 4 on note-taking from lectures could use some updating to include taking notes from videos, slide shows, or other online media. Materials are clear and accurate. I appreciate the way the sections on critical thinking and meta-cognition avoid mentioning learning styles.
In general, it is straight-forward and cites outside sources pretty well in making assertions, though it might help to have more citations about the benefits of certain practices. For example, a discussion of where the assumption of 2 hours of outside work per hour in the classroom comes from, or why Cornell Notes might or might not work, as it's been studied and found a bit lacking. Again, the book has some information that's timeless, such as goal-setting information, thinking about thinking, and some general college advice.
It would be useful to have more information about the distractions of electronic media and smartphones -- or on how to incorporate these successfully into college study. Prose is clear and to-the-point. Examples are useful but short. A few case studies here and there expand the usefulness for students.
In the original version before moving to the UMN site it had parenthetical definitions or pop-up definitions for all of the terms that are now blue. It would be useful to have a glossary again at the end of each chapter, but most words are explained in context, too. Tone and information are clear throughout. The objectives are maintained throughout the book and the types of exercises at the end of each chapter are also consistent.
I have used pieces of the text before for a class instead of using the whole, and they divide up well for the most part. The final three chapters, for instance, are outside of the scope of my week college success class, and it was easy to work without them. There are some links to other chapters in most of the chapters, but the references are rarely critical.
Chapter 2 is probably the most difficult to work without -- if it is included, then the basis for goal-setting and time-management and organization that it provides scaffolds the rest of the content. Activities in all sections and chapters can be used or ignored with no great loss.
This has a pretty logical flow. Not all of chapter 1 seems necessary depending on the population being taught , and Chapter 2 seems to come a little out of order: time management seems the most critical of the skills being explained here, so putting it before space organization was useful. In fact, Chapter 2 seems like it could be broken into two pieces or taught over two weeks, while Chapter 1 is basically first-day-of-class material.
Otherwise, most chapters would correspond neatly to a single week of content including activities. I found Chapter 7 a little thin -- it could sustain a day's discussion -- while Chapter 8 seems like it's an entire course unto itself since writing is required on most colleges. This works fine in any format for reading. If one is using the exercises in the book, then it is necessary to use a format where students can print or copy the exercises easily. The final few chapters try to tackle huge issues in a very basic way.
They might be useful, but having an open discussion of campus policies and current events will be more useful. For example, the nutrition and weight chapter conflates weight and health in a way that's offensive, but the sleep chapter would likely be useful for many students. Likewise, the sexual health chapter has some reasonable advice but also suggests that victims are in the best position to prevent sexual assault by following three steps.
That's nonsense and is over the border into victim shaming. I've found major pieces of this work very useful, and I would encourage those considering it to read the chapters most relevant to their course outcomes and adapt when they adopt. The content of this book is very comprehensive. The author provides very useful information to consider about college success. It really helps you to understand more about life in college. The information about your health, finances, careers, The information about your health, finances, careers, etc.
This book presented the information in a clear way. The book is very consistent. The author begins each chapter with a self-assessment. Students can survey themselves to know where they are at in their lives, where they want to be and ways they can get there. The author also includes resources links, tips and checkpoint exercises.
At the end of each chapter the author presents a list of key takeaway points from the chapter that really summarizes the chapter. Another plus for each chapter is the Learning Objectives in the beginning of each chapter. The book presented a good modularity. The author organized the book into chapters that are organized into sections. The book has a good interface. Links to resources websites worked and are very useful for students.
