For undergraduate freshman-level courses; also appropriate for an Introduction to College course. Helping students gain a richer, clearer, and more complex sense of their own goals for being in college, this engaging anthology of immediate relevance explores diverse perspectives and experiences of higher education-exposing students to the opportunities and challenges it offers and how to make the most of them. Designed to enrich students' critical thinking, communication, and research skills-vital tools for any career they choose- it features reading and writing assignments that will improve their ability to analyze, synthesize, and evaluate arguments; help them learn to construct their own written arguments and interpretations; plus improve their ability to do research, using not only library and on-line sources but also field research techniques such as interview and observation.
