Reviews / Votes
"I find this to be a powerful book for incoming students, full of well-considered, useful guidelines and assists for students making the transition from high school to college today...This is the one first-year experience text I've reviewed in a while to which I am giving an unreserved thumbs up."-- Judith J. Pula
-- Frostburg State University
"The single most distinguishing concept is the meaning of the title, itself: `Essential Ingredients.' The book focuses on only this and eliminates a lot of fluff that is included in many other texts... The current pedagogical and metacognitive approach to study skills matches other textbooks, but Essential Ingredients is the bacon, trimmed of the fat."
-- Elizabeth Stewart
