Synopsis

For courses in Freshman Orientation Seminar, College Study Skills, Developmental Reading, Writing, or Mathematics. Unique in approach, visually appealing, and as user-friendly as possible, this college-orientation/study skills text offers solid, comprehensive information combined with a sense of humor in the form of instructive, upbeat, and engaging cartoons. Accessible both to struggling as well as more experienced students, it follows the trials and tribulations of a diverse, easy-to-relate-to group of cartoon characters as they encounter the typical ― and some not-so-typical ― challenges of today's college experiences. Because of its engaging presentation style―including over 100 full-color cartoon strips―this text doesn't just tell students what to do, but shows the consequences of taking ― or not taking ― action, and demonstrates how others solve common college dilemmas. It offers strategies and information about the critical areas of time management, reading and notetaking, writing, test taking, faculty relationships, money matters, negotiation with family and friends, and crisis resolution.
