The book offers concrete suggestions about specific strategies and approaches for faculty who teach first-year courses. The new edition is based on the most current research on teaching and learning and incorporates information about the demographic changes that have occurred in student populations since the first edition was published. The updated strategies are designed to help first-year students adjust effectively to both the academic and nonacademic pressures of college. The authors also help faculty understand first-year students and show how their experiences in high school have prepared¾or not prepared¾them for the world of higher education.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cb\u003eBette LaSere Erickson\u003c\/b\u003e is director of the Instructional Development Program at the University of Rhode Island.
