Review
"The chapter on liberal arts education is fabulous! Coming from a liberal arts institution, I find it very challenging to find a book that explains education to students from this perspective."
"The readings are substantive but short; this piques students' interests without overwhelming them. The collection of readings in each chapter model diverse thought processes instead of advocating one view of an issue. This diversity is essential for moving toward increasingly complex ways of thinking."

This review is from: Orientation to College: A Reader (The Wadsworth College Success Series) (Paperback)
This was a required purchase by the university I was re-enrolling in, and unless you are 14 and think of education as having someone spoon predigested pablum into your uninformed skull then you won't want this book. If you think for yourself in any way you will find this book insulting.

I am pleased with this book because it came to me as it said it would. There were no marks or bends. It also came with a tracking number so that if there was a problem I could have tracked it down. This product came to me on time and I am greatful for that.
