A College Primer: An Introduction to Academic Life for the Entering College Student
Autor John T. Kirkpatricken Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 mai 2004
Going beyond the available college books that describe dorm life and fraternities, author John Kirkpatrick introduces students to the rich textures of the academic world at today's colleges and universities. He unravels the mysteries of professors, academic culture, degree programs, who's who on campus, and expectations in the college classroom. Kirkpatrick tells his tale as a seasoned voyager in the modern academy, who is passionate about the magic that happens inside the college gates. Students, parents, guidance counselors, and academic advisors will find the book useful in focusing entering student attention on the academic demands that await them.
Finally, this is a book that talks seriously with students, not at them, about the remarkable trek through the academic world.

For the ambitious and talented who join colleges and universities each year, this small volume is an excellent way to start the journey of a lifetime.
