Editorial Reviews

This fact-filled DVD is a course on how to make it through your freshman year of college.

In addition, the program's advice was shaped by more than two dozen educators, including 19 with doctorate degrees. Learn the skills, techniques and strategies you'll need to succeed whether you commute to school, live in a residence hall or are returning to college after several years in the workforce. Topics include: Classroom Success Tactics Smart Study Skills Writing Preparing for Exams Taking Exams The DVD also includes PDFs, video podcasts of all chapters and a link to updated information. Writer/Producer John Spiropoulos is a three-time, Emmy-Award winning reporter with twenty years experience in television news. For ten years (1979 - 1989) he was the on-air Money Editor for WJLA-TV, the ABC affiliate in Washington D.C., where he covered the federal government as well as business, consumer and personal finance news. Since 1989 he has been Chief Correspondent and Executive Producer for Information Video, Inc., a video production and publishing company now based in Chicago, Illinois. A great gift for high school grads. If you have a child going to college, sit down and watch it together, then spend some time discussing what you learned.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Big Change DVD for College Students, December 19, 2007

This review is from: College: "The Big Change" (DVD)

This is a must for all incoming freshmen and their families. Extremely helpful "20/20 Hindsight" from students looking back on their freshman year of college- the pitfalls, the strategies they have developed, etc.
Students from all across the country share their experiences. College professors share their thoughts and experiences as well. Great for high school seniors.
