Review:
"(This text)...has essays that are good examples of writing as well as good examples of thoughtful issues."
"One of the greatest strengths (of this text) is the section on how to succeed in college academically. The essays by Burtchaell, Raspberry, and Minnick in this section are very thought-provoking and the students are really challenged by them."
"I just love the introductions to the units...the writing appeals to me!"
"I like the fact that the material in the text is reasonable in length, often two to three pages. This allows for me to assign multiple readings at one time without the students feeling overwhelmed."
