Helping Sophomores Succeed: Understanding and Improving the Second Year Experience eBook

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 49:11:30 GMT

After many years of attention to improving the first college year for students, colleges and university administrators are now asking, "What next?" What happens when first-year students transition into their sophomore year? What are their needs and how can they be met?

This resource on the sophomore-year experience will represent an in-depth, comprehensive understanding of the transitional issues between a student's first and second years of college. It will be a primary aid in designing curricular and cocurricular programs for the second-year student population, focused on issues of retention, academic and career development, and personal transition and growth.

Sponsored by The University of South Carolina's National Resource Center for The First-Year Experience and Students in Transition, which appears to be the only organization monitoring the developing interest in this topic, the book will offer an update on second-year-student satisfaction using both quantitative and qualitative measures from national research findings; give an overview of emergent themes: purpose, integration, engagement, and commitment; expand the view of student developmental issues; and discuss implications for best practices.

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 49:11:30 GMT

This second volume continues this non-academic author's ground-breaking word-by-word analysis of James Joyce's Finnegans Wake, Joyce's last blessing on mankind. In chapters 1.3 and 1.4, which are covered by this volume, the Kabbalah-based analysis peers into the darkness of the Egyptian Land of the Dead and corresponding Book of the Dead. These chapters are joined at the hip by Egyptian death-obsessed theosophy and increase the font on Joyce's principal subject matter-the loss of human potential to fear and dependency. Joyce finds Kabbalah-cursed paralysis in ancient Egyptian religion as part of his effort to show the same paralysis in nearly all religions and to champion the independent individual.
