„"I strongly recommend this for publication. I find it very timely and very necessary. My institution chooses texts by committee and I would be more than happy to put this text into the mix of texts to consider"
„I believe college student success courses could use it as a primary text and I think it would work well as a supplemetal text in English 111"
Q. Also, I wanted to know what your thoughts are about the format and the last section Part 3 for Instructors teaching this course
"I thought the format was just fine."
I am used to receiving a supplemental instructor's manual, but if it would make the text more cost effective, I think a 3rd section for instructors would be just fine."
Kristen Thomas, University of Akron, Academic Advisor
Q: . If the work is intended as a textbook,
„OVERALL REACTION : a) I really like the concept, especially utilizing examples/scenarios which would lead to great teaching discussions. b) I think there is a place for a book like this c) I would call it "leading edge" because I am not familiar with one that is out there that deals with this topic. d) The potential shelf life 2-3 years maximum before a revision would be needed. I like the timeliness of this information because of the type of student coming to college"
"Yes I recommend the book and our committee that selects textbooks for our Student Success Seminar course would definitely consider using it."
"All college students can benefit from this book, it offers them a fresh new perspective, one that shows them they can control their destiny if they are willing to learn important communication and "life skills" which are essential in the pursuit of higher education."
Babrbara Doyle, Arkansas State University, Director of Assessement
"This text approaches topics covered in most freshman orientation courses or study skills courses."
"The topic is not affected by the passage of time. The material is not prone to become outdated. The tips and strategies provided would be timeless information for college students 50 years ago and 50 years in the future"

" The rationale for such a book is convincing and there appears to be a growing need for study skills and study guidance books that can give a wide range of students speedy orientation to a more independent mode of study."
Phil Race: Leeds Metroplitan University (Areas of specialty Assessment, learning and teaching in higher education)
"Writing style seems fit-for-purpose – friendly and stimulating. An important aspect of higher education is developing transferable skills and competences to serve students throughout their careers, whether they go on to be academics, researchers, or professionals. Among these skills, ‘academic assertiveness’ is important. This book should not only help students in higher education to succeed academically, but should equip them for what follows
