Descriere
On Campus approaches the topic, college orientation, respectful of the fact that for students, college represents an enormous investment of time and money, and for faculty, an understanding that they must feel well-prepared to teach content that is not discipline-specific.
The mission of On Campus is to provide students with an opportunity (1) to experience and develop knowledge, behaviors and attitudes that promote successful college study and positive campus experiences, and (2) to appreciate multiple perspectives that reflect intellectual and cultural diversity within and beyond college. Students learn skills and strategies necessary to make informed choices, to understand their responsibilities for academic success, and to become independent, motivated learners.

Textul de pe ultima copertă
On Campus — An Interactive Guide to College is a highly readable, learning-centered orientation textbook that drives academic success. On Campus is more comprehensive than other books available as it is actually four books in one: (1) student success text + (2) study skills text + (3) online reader + (4) reference book.
Throughout the text, students perform tried and true activities and exercises that enhance insight and knowledge about their campus and themselves. Students learn skills and strategies necessary to make informed choices, to understand their responsibilities for academic success, and to become independent, motivated learners.
On Campus addresses college orientation from a student's viewpoint: Because college requires an enormous investment of time and money, cross-curricular content provides great value.

Caracteristici
NEW! Main points are illustrated with authentic examples drawn from more than 60 colleges and universities.
- Concrete and realistic, these examples illustrate the college milieu, faculty expectations, and student responsibilities. Most textbooks have just one voice – the author’s. On Campus has many “voices” that show, rather than tell, important points.
- Content-wise, the readings enrich and extend chapter topics by providing in-depth chapter coverage. For students, the online reader is an attractive financial savings since they do not have to buy a reader. For faculty, the online reader is an invaluable time saver since they do not have to search for related chapter content or develop questions. As an added bonus, since the companion website is dynamic, reading selections can be updated to keep up with current issues.
- By exploring issues, reflecting on values, and analyzing academic situations, students become active, involved participants in their own education (pgs. 13, 68, 172).
- As noted above, Chapter Activities and Exercises are based on Bloom’s Taxonomy of Educational Objectives. In practice, this means that faculty can pick a wide range of questions appropriate for the needs of their students and course objectives. Specifically, “Knowing Your Campus” questions emphasize the point that students must learn about their campus. “Concerning College Athletes” targets important issues that student athletes must address (pgs. 68, 139, 233).
- Exclusive to On Campus are chapter topics on course syllabus, college policy, academic programs, and higher education.
By learning about college, in general, and their courses and campus, in detail, students learn accurate information about the nature of higher education and about specific requirements for their college. At the same time, students learn about themselves and others within their college community as they adjust to their new role as college freshmen. - On Campus is actually four books combined as one: student success text + study skills text + online reader + reference book. Published in a sophisticated, compact spiral-bound book, On Campus offers first year students a solid understanding about the responsibilities and realities of attending college and provides faculty with a plethora of substantive, well-developed exercises and activities.
- Most colleges are scrambling to update their campus security services for students. This section (written prepared in response to recent tragic campus events) provides a foundation of recommendations and strategies for students. The information is presented so that students will react to the suggestions and interact with other students.
