ABOUT THE AUTHOR Dr. Christine Harrington is serving as the executive director of the New Jersey Center for Student Success at the New Jersey Council of County Colleges on a two-year term.

She is also the author of Dynamic Lecturing: Research-based Strategies to Enhance Lecture Effectiveness.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I am beyond grateful to my family, colleagues, students, and my amazing team at Cengage. Writing this book would not be possible without the never-ending support and encouragement provided by my husband, Dan, and two sons, Ryan and David. I’d also like to thank my mom, dad, mother-in-law, and niece Ashley for always being there for me and supporting me every step of the way.

I would also like to thank my many FYE colleagues across the nation for sharing their endless passion and ideas about how to best help students achieve their goals. I am particularly thankful for the collaborative partnerships with my colleagues at the New Jersey Council of County Colleges and across the state, the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development, the Office of the Secretary of Higher Education, and the Department of Education. It is a true pleasure working with such wonderful colleagues across the state, my fellow executive directors in other states with Centers for Student Success, and national partners such as Jobs for the Future who are so committed to student success.

Thanks to Tom Peterson and Suzanne LoPorto for their incredible photographs in this text, and to the many students who appear in them. I would also like to thank Ryan Harrington and Aditya Shah for developing the index.

My students have always been, and will continue to be, a source of inspiration, but it is difficult to describe the positive feeling I experience when students share how this book has helped them achieve their goals. I am tremendously grateful for the positive feedback about the book as well as their suggestions about how to improve it. I am also thankful to the many reviewers whose feedback was incredibly valuable and helped strengthen this text.

College Expectations: Getting a Strong Start

Learning about what is expected of college students, the differ- ences between high school and college, and the importance of resources such as the syllabus will help you get off to the right start in college. As you know, college is quite different than high school. For starters, the schedule is significantly different, with some courses meeting only once or twice per week and classes often being longer in duration. A typical full-time college stu- dent is in class only for approximately 15–20 hours per week. However, college students are expected to engage in significant learning outside of the classroom. Most student success pro- fessionals and faculty recommend spending approximately 2–3 hours outside of class learning and studying for every hour you spend in class. Thus, if you are a full-time college student, a gen- eral rule of thumb is to plan to spend at least 30 hours per week engaged in studying behaviors outside of class. Keep in mind that the actual time needed for studying may vary from student to student and perhaps even from semester to semester based on factors such as how much you already know about a subject, the difficulty of the subject, and the nature of the assignments and tasks.

In college, you will have the opportunity to deeply engage with the content and complete tasks that will help you further develop high-level skills such as critical thinking. Take full advantage of these learning opportunities by:

Taking time to fully understand what is expected of you Using research-based success strategies Putting high levels of effort into these tasks Knowing what resources are available to you and using these resources as needed

The Syllabus The syllabus is an important resource that will help you understand what is expected of you (see Sample Syllabus Figure). The syllabus is typically posted in the course’s learning management system or distributed on the first day of class. It provides you with an overview of the course, including a course description, contact information for your professor, resources you’ll need, and the course learn- ing outcomes. Learning outcomes are what your professors expect you to be able to know, think, or do as a result of taking the course. The learning outcomes are incredibly important because they capture the purpose of the course. When you look at your course learning outcomes, you’ll discover that your professors are going to expect you to do much more than just memorize information; you will also need to think critically about different disciplines and create a variety of high- level academic products. Focusing on what you will be learning will help you meet with success.

College Expectations: Getting a Strong Start 5

The syllabus also contains information about assignments and learning activ- ities. Completing these tasks will help you achieve the course learning goals. To help you better understand expectations for assignments, your professors will often include detailed information about the assignment or rubrics in the sylla- bus. Rubrics are tools used to provide students with specific information about expectations related to the assignment, showing what you will need to do in order to earn a high grade and successfully accomplish the task. Rubrics are also used by professors during the grading process.

The syllabus will also provide you with information about how much each assignment counts toward the final grade. This refers to weighting. Different assign- ments are often weighted differently. For example, exams are typically weighted more heavily than quizzes, meaning exams count more than quizzes toward your final grade. To calculate your final grade, you will need to know the weighting for each category of assignments (i.e., quizzes, lab reports, exams, etc.) and how many of each type of assignment you will need to do throughout the semester. Many learning management systems automatically calculate your grade, but if this is not the case, you can use a grade calculator app for this purpose. Take a look at Grade Calculation Examples Table to see how weighting can impact your final grade.

Another key feature of the syllabus is the course outline; the course outline will provide you with a calendar for the course. It will include information about when topics will be addressed and due dates for assignments. As soon as you get copies

Texts: Student Success in College: Doing What Works! 3rd edition, Cengage Learning

Articles and Websites: Several additional resources will be used. These will be posted in the Learning Management System.

In order to learn, you’ll need to be actively involved and engaged with the course content so you can expect this semester to be filled with lively discussions, activities, and challenging assignments. Because we learn best when engaged with others, you will work with a partner or small group almost every class period.

of all of your syllabi, transfer the course calendar information, especially due dates, into a master calendar that you will use throughout the semester. Having import- ant due dates on your calendar will help you keep track of what you need to do each week. The next step is planning when you will work on the assignments. In other words, schedule time to work on these activities in your calendar. Planning will help you complete assignments on schedule. The importance of the syllabus cannot be overstated—be sure to keep your syllabi in a safe place and regularly refer to them to stay on top of course requirements.

Value of the First-Year Seminar Course 7

Campus and Community Resources As you begin your first semester, it is important to know about the resources that are available to you as a college student. Successful individuals reach out for help when needed and it will be easier for you to reach out for assistance if you know about the different types of support services available on your campus. Check out your college website or ask your professor to learn about the various offices and departments on campus that can support you during college. For example, most colleges and universities offer a variety of support with academic tasks. Profes- sional or peer tutors are typically available as are librarians and your college profes- sors when you need assistance with completing academic assignments. Academic advisors and career counselors are available to help you develop an academic and career plan and develop networking skills. If you are struggling with personal issues, many colleges and universities offer confidential counseling on campus or can refer you to services in the local community. There are also a variety of spe- cialized services such as Disability Services, Veteran Services, and Minority Stu- dent Affairs Services. If you are living on campus, you will also have access to a resident advisor who can help you find the support you are looking for. If you are a first-generation college student, it may be particularly important for you to con- nect with campus supports. By doing so, you can more quickly learn about how to transition to college effectively and develop a support system that will help you with this process.

During the first few weeks of college, investigate what services exist on your campus or in your local community. In addition to learning about the services provided, it is helpful to know where the services are located and their hours of operation. Knowing this information early on in the semester will make it easier for you to take advantage of these resources when needed.

Value of the First-Year Seminar Course Research has consistently indicated that first-year semi- nar courses contribute to student success in college (Bou- dreau & Kromrey, 1994; Derby & Smith, 2004; Potts & Shultz, 2008). Studies have shown that this course is beneficial for students of all ability levels (Howard, 2000; Miller, Janz, & Chen, 2007). For example, researchers have found that students who took a first-year seminar course had higher grades and earned more credits early on, as compared to those who did not take the first-year seminar course, and that these academic advantages were long-lasting (Karp, Raufman, Efthimiou, & Ritze, 2015). Based on a review of research studies investigating the effectiveness of first-year seminars, Jaijairam (2016) noted the following benefits of the course:

Better grades More likely to graduate on schedule

Getting Started8

More likely to reflect on academic performance and progress More likely to think critically More likely to participate in class Increased self-confidence Better sense of career options

Given this long list of benefits, it is not surprising that most colleges offer this type of course and many even require it. In fact, in a national survey, approximately 90% of the colleges that responded indicated that they offered a first-year seminar course at their institutions (Young & Hopp, 2014). The first-year seminar course helps students transition successfully to college.

As you are getting ready to embark on this challenging, yet exciting, journey called college, think about the topic of this text for a moment: student success. You probably already have an opinion about why some students are successful in college while others are not. Others do, too. You could walk up to 10 different people on the street and ask them what it takes to be successful in college, and you’ll probably get 10 different answers. Our views, and personal advice, are often based on individual experiences. Unfortunately, just because a technique worked for someone else doesn’t mean it will work for you. Research, on the other hand, is more powerful than advice. Information gathered from thousands of students makes it more likely that the techniques shown to be effective will also work for you. In other words, findings from research are typically more accurate and mean- ingful than advice from one person.

This text takes you beyond advice and into the science of success. It is filled with research-based information to help you succeed. In addition to learning about topics such as time management, goal setting, motivation, and study strategies, you will also learn about how to read and extract key information from scholarly sources such as peer-reviewed journal articles. Although this activity can definitely be a challenging one for new students, learning this skill early will serve you well in college. College professors will expect you to be able to read and use scholarly sources in your work, but there is often not much, if any, class time devoted to teaching you how to read research articles and extract the key information. This text will teach you strategies for reading these challenging articles, give you prac- tice at summarizing the key points, and prompt you to think critically about the findings and their value. You will also build your information literacy skills by searching library databases to find additional research on student success topics. After this course, you’ll be ready to include information from these sources in your papers and presentations, which will help you create successful academic products for your other classes.

Value of the First-Year Seminar Course 9

Taking this course will give you the skills and confidence you need to reach your goal. Specifically, you will learn that a variety of factors, such as using sup- ports and resources, being motivated, making good decisions, managing time well, setting goals, thinking positively, and using effective study strategies, have been found to be connected to academic success (DeBerard, Speilmans, & Julka, 2004; Johnson, 1997; Lammers, Onwuegbuzie, & State, 2001; Murray & Wren, 2003). More good news—these factors are within your control. Once you are armed with solid, accurate information about how these factors contribute to success, you will be able to use this information to achieve your goals. In essence, you will be ready to “Do What Works!” Let’s start by checking your current knowledge about what works.

Student Success Myths or Facts? Test Your Knowledge! Myth or Fact? Decide whether you believe the following statements are true or false. 1. Because the world is an ever-changing place, memorizing information is not

that important. 2. Highlighting is one of the most effective reading strategies. 3. Reading skills are the best predictor of how well you will comprehend what

you read. 4. Students who study alone are more productive and learn more than students

who study with others. 5. The best way to study is to review and reread your notes. 6. Students today are much better at multitasking. 7. When taking a multiple-choice test, it is always best to “go with your gut” and

stick with your first answer. 8. Professors expect you to use numerous quotations in your research papers. 9. Students are generally pretty accurate when predicting their grades in a course. 10. Being focused on grades will help you learn a lot and achieve at high levels.

Some of the information you learn from this text and your course will not be new to you—you have after all been a student for a long time. However, you might be surprised to find that you are using strategies that are only minimally effective. In fact, all of the Myth or Fact statements are false. For a sneak peek at strategies that work, check out the Success Strategies at a Glance for each chapter.

Success Strategies at a Glance There’s something magical about the number seven. It’s not just lucky; it’s a num- ber that researchers have found to be most productive in terms of memory. This is why there are seven chapters in this text. Findings from a famous psychological study tell us that seven chunks of information are what work best naturally within our memory systems (Miller, 1956). We’ve put this research into practice, using it to shape the organization of the text.

There’s a lot to learn and do in this course. This introductory section is designed to get you on your way. It provides an overall organizational structure to guide you at the start of the semester and will continue to be a great reference tool throughout the entire semester. Before you start reading the first chapter, take a few moments to get familiar with this text to see how it can be helpful to you. This brief, powerful preview activity will familiarize you with the key concepts you need to know as you begin your college journey. Here’s a great way to become familiar with the key success strategies:

Flip through the Success Strategies at a Glance pages that highlight research-supported success strategies for each chapter. Write down strategies that you are already using. Think about how these strategies will help you in college. Identify at least three strategies you would like to learn more about. Go to their corresponding chapter, find the section that describes the strategy, and learn about the strategy. Choose at least one strategy that you can start using and try it out!
