Who would know better about how to be a successful student than a successful student? Cum laude NYU graduate/host Justin Baer guides viewers towards a good collegiate start in Cracking College: 7 Secrets of Savvy Students. Reminding students that in college much of their academic work will be self-directed (i.e., no one is going to be on hand to nag them if they get behind or don't turn in homework), Baer provides helpful tips on finding the best professors, setting up a study environment, getting help from tutors, scoring well on exams, and more. Divided into easily navigable chapters comprised of concise segments, this program would be a terrific addition to campus freshman orientation programs, as well as high schools and public libraries. Highly recommended. Aud: H, C, P. (L. Stevens)
