FIRST-YEAR EXPERIENCE CASE STUDIES: Now on TextChoice2, 101 college success case studies are available for customization from John Riesen, John Szarlan, and Suman Singha, authors of Case Studies for First-Year Experience Students. These case studies are based on real life experiences of first-year college students and examine academic, social and personal issues from a wide variety of perspectives. Following each case study are questions for critical thought and discussion.

• Case studies encourage problem solving and critical thinking because they can be approached from different perspectives, which generates different conclusions and solutions.
• Case studies ask for the student's opinion, as opposed to the correct answer.
• Case studies can be used to introduce a topic and focus subsequent discussion, or to determine student concerns.
• Case studies are short enough to read in class—have case studies available for spontaneous use or for unexpected extra time.
