THRIVING IN COLLEGE AND BEYOND: RESEARCH-BASED STRATEGIES FOR ACADEMIC SUCCESS AND PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

This was a required text for one of my classes, and I was not impressed. Much of it was common knowledge on study habits and how to stay healthy. It's level doesn't quite scream college to me, although it did contain some interesting facts and methods.

I had to purchase this for a required course as part of my undergraduate education. Silly things like this get yearly "updates" and publishers sometimes require schools to buy the new edition each year, which means the student pays a premium. I mention this just to explain my displeasure upon finding that most of the health mumbo-jumbo in this text is easily accessed online. Therefore, this purchase is largely useless if you are getting it for personal use, though I daresay you'll still need it if buying it for a class, for test-purposes.

Otherwise, shipping and billing all went smoothly and the book arrived as planned.

Also, the pictures and illustrations in this book are really dated and cheesy.

Thanks,
Tucker
