Overview

This book can be used outside of the classroom, or as an in-class textbook.  As a textbook, it can stand alone (e.g., for a first-year experience course) or be used as a supplemental text for any course. The book is developed on the successes and experiences of the author and the people (students and professionals) who have contributed ideas and quotes. The book is divided into two parts, with fifteen chapters in each part, which is consistent with the length of traditional college semesters.  One chapter from each part can be read each week over the course of a semester, or the book can be read sequentially.  The assignments at the end of each chapter can be used in a variety of ways.  They can serve as discussion prompts to introduce a topic, or as thought questions after a chapter has been read.  The questions, as well as the content of each chapter, may be supplemented with your own experiences as well as those of the class.   The material in the chapters can be presented by the course instructor, or can be used to allow students the opportunity to develop their presentation skills at times during the semester.  Assignment questions can be answered verbally as part of class discussions, or, alternatively, answers can be written in order to assess and develop students’ written communication skills. However you use this book, as a teacher or a student, may your endeavors be successful!
