Conquering College: A Guide for Undergraduates
Autor Victor Cahnen Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 iun 2009
More than ever, a college education represents a major investment of time and money. In this perceptive and witty guide, written by an experienced teacher and counselor of both high school and college students, Victor L. Cahn presents future undergraduates and their parents with a blueprint for how best to use these vital four years.
With singular candor, he discusses the potential pitfalls and rewards of campus life, including the transition from high school; the challenges of academic, personal, and social freedom; and the opportunities offered by courses, professors, and extracurricular programs. All this information is presented in the context of one central theme: that college is preparation not simply for a career, but for life.

Recenzii
Victor Cahn brings to his subject the same qualities that have for the last thirty years made him a legendary teacher at Skidmore College: profound knowledge, acute understanding, a lively sense of humor, and a contagious passion for his subject. His book is a gold mine of information on the full spectrum of college life.
Cahn is the avuncular guide we all wish we'd had to help navigate our undergraduate experience. From how to approach professors during office hours to cultivating good study habits and beyond, Cahn offers invaluable, practical advice. A must-read for incoming freshmen-and their parents.
No student should attend college without first reading this book, which is an invaluable resource for those looking to make the most of their experience. The book should also be read by all teachers in higher education, who may have forgotten the myriad challenges facing students as they make the difficult transition to college.
