Product Review

For Orientation, Introduction to College, and College Seminar courses. This book is written especially for community college students. While it follows in the tradition of the Cornerstone franchise, the content, examples, and exercises are specifically dedicated to the interests, challenges and needs of the community college student. 

 

Cornerstones for Community College Success includes all the traditional subjects found in student success courses, but goes above and beyond the average book. A wide variety of academic skills is presented, as well as chapters designed to guide students of all ages and backgrounds including creating a successful future, introducing college culture, and planning for transition. Extensive coverage of Information Literacy and Emotional Intelligence is included. A comprehensive Transfer guide and "Four Year Success Plan" are provided. Every chapter has an inspirational story written by community college graduates that tell how their experiences changed their lives. Exercises that promote critical thinking, problem solving and decision making are interwoven throughout.

I bought for my class expecting it to come with the access code since it is brand new. The online access code is required for my course so it will end up costing you another $40. Not such a good deal since I can buy the book with access code at the School Bookstore for $65-70. Otherwise it is the book I needed.

This review is from: Cornerstones for Community College Success (Kindle Edition)
The publisher wasn't thoughtful enough to include the actual page numbers FOR A SCHOOL TEXTBOOK. So if your instructor tells you to answer the questions on page 43, you have absolutely ZERO way of knowing what page #43 actually is in the book. I suppose you could compare it to a classmates text, but that doesn't help so much if you're in an online session. Again, for classroom work, the this book is absolutely worthless as it only includes 8774 position numbers instead of the 300 some odd page numbers it should.
