The Pocket Guide to College Success provides straightforward and easily consumable coverage on all the topics typically found in a full-size college success text in a handy, affordable, highly-customizable format. Chapters on academic skills like time management, academic planning, and note-taking get students ready for success in class, while life skills like goal-setting, money management, and interpersonal communication help them throughout their entire collegiate experience and beyond. Perfect for use as a self-directed student reference outside of a first-year course (or where there is no such course), Pocket is also a full-course solution, available with a robust instructor’s manual and suite of digital resources to empower your first-year program. The third edition is included in the Bedford Select database, making it easy to take out chapters, add pre-built modules, or include campus-specific content such as campus maps, course outcomes, letter from a dean, or directory of campus resources. Choose your binding, customize your cover, and add digital resources like the ACES self-assessment—all with transparent pricing that updates with every change. From a full-course solution to a credible print companion for your program's online modules, there is a pocket for everyone.
