About the Author:
John N. Gardner brings unparalleled experience to the writing of this text. The recipient of his institution's highest award for teaching excellence, John has over 40 years of experience directing and teaching in the most widely emulated first-year seminar in the country, the University 101 course at the University of South Carolina (USC), Columbia. John is universally recognized as one of the country's leading educators for his role in initiating and orchestrating an international reform movement to improve the beginning college experience, a concept he coined as "the first-year experience." He is the founding executive director of the National Resource Center for The First-Year Experience and Students in Transition at USC and of the Policy Center on the First Year of College in Brevard, North Carolina.
Review:
"The 20 tips are an excellent introduction to the book and should appeal to student readers. I most appreciate that the content recognizes the needs of diverse students – traditional and nontraditional students, under prepared students, and students of color."

"I like the voice in which the text is written. It is friendly and helpful in a non-threatening manor. The authors talk right to the student and by sharing their own memories personalize the text in a way that is unique."

"Excellent information overall. There is no question of the accuracy and value of the information and material presented. Teacher annotations are also extremely beneficial. Major headings are excellent, and the arrangement of information into easily-digested ’chunks’ is a tremendous benefit of this section of the book."
