“A guidebook for first-year students that
effectively focuses on the basics they need to
know sooner rather than later. This is the kind
of resource that can make a big difference
to students when they transition out of high
school.”
—Victor Asal, University at Albany, SUNY

Kickstarting Your Academic Career is a primer on the common scholastic demands
that social sciences students face upon entering college or university. Based on the
challenges that instructors most often find students need help with, the authors offer
practical advice and tips on topics such as how to communicate with instructors, take
notes, read a textbook, research and write papers, and write successful exams. The
succinct writing and clear organization make this an essential reference for first-year
students as they encounter post-secondary work for the first time, and a useful
refresher for upper-year students looking to refine their skills.
