Required Reading!.......2007-09-19
This step-by-step guide to breaking into the online teaching field is required reading for those who want to know the ground truth. Each chapter is well thought out, with nuggets of personal experience and personal preference thrown in to help guide the reader in best practices.
It is easy to read the book cover to cover, and the authors provide plenty of references to find further information you may need to get started. The information about school accreditation and about possible technology needs have been especially useful to me.
Great book.......2007-07-26
This is an excellent book that tells you how to face the real market as far as teaching online. It gives guidelines that will really help you to start your online teaching career even if you do not have much experience.
A very satisfied customer.......2007-05-16
I am an aspiring instructor of online education and found this book to be very informative and enlightening. I would recommend this book to anyone who has the desire to teach online.

Written for a very narrow audience.......2007-04-22
This book is written for a very narrow audience - specifically those with Master's or Doctoral degrees under their belt. The author even goes so far as to say that people with "only a bachelor's degree will not be able to make a good living but might find some work at the high school level".
There may be a degree of truth to this, but I could not believe they just came out and stated this in their intro. There are plenty of opportunities out there for people with all ranges of experience and abilities, and to throw that wet blanket on the reader right off the bat seems foolish in the extreme - especially given the catchy "Make Money Teaching" title.
I almost bought this book based on the title, the premise, and the favourable reviews it received. After reading the first few sections, and scanning the rest, I left it on the shelf with a "phhfft".
A better title would have been "How to get into online teaching for those with a post-graduate pedigree and little to no computer knowledge". Pass (on the book) and Fail (to be of value to 99% of the readers out there)
The perfect guidebook to online teaching........2007-04-15
It's unusual for me to find a non-fiction book that I couldn't stop reading. This was it. The book came out at an especially good time for me. I was just trying to break into teaching online, and having trouble getting my first teaching gig. This book takes you through that process, in a way that is positive while making a lot of good sense of what to do, and how to do it. Best of all, it helps you understand why to do things a certain way.
I think a lot of people are fearful or hesitant to try their hand at teaching online. All through the book there are words of encouragement and confidence-building suggestions. That's great. The sample documents in the book are a nice touch; instead of just telling readers what to do, the authors show them with examples. I was not aware all these colleges want a statement of teaching philosophy, and that helped, too.
The authors include helpful rundowns on the three main systems for online teaching. The chapter on necessary equipment and technologies helped steer me in the right direction, too.
All in all, this book is quite a gem, a bargain, and a must-have guide for anyone wanting to teach online. I have found it extremely helpful: advice from the experts.
Book Description
The writers of the tremendously popular Web site CollegeHumor.com have prepared a hilarious, entertaining guide that dares young readers to make college the best and funniest four (or more) years of their lives.
CollegeHumor.com is the National Lampoon of its generation. Since its creation in early 2000, the Web site has grown to become the nation's most recognized comedy brand for young people. With eight million unique visitors a month, quarterly revenues surpassing $1.2 million, and a successful line of merchandise (from T-shirts to novelties)—not to mention a deal with Paramount to create and brand movies with CollegeHumor's imprimatur—CollegeHumor is truly a franchise in the making.
The CollegeHumor Guide to College is a laugh-out-loud depiction of the college experience. Written primarily by two of CollegeHumor's most popular columnists, Ethan Trex and Streeter Seidell, this guide features all-new material not found on the Web site. It also includes helpful advice—the kind you probably won't hear from a college counselor—on an array of subjects, such as food, clothing, parents, dating, sex, drinking, and roommates. Filled with outrageous illustrations, this edgy and irreverent book will be indispensable to all present and future undergraduates.

College boy didn't like this gift..........2007-10-17
I purchased this book for my little brother who just started his sophomore year in college based on these great reviews. However, he really did not like it, and thought it was really stupid. Not a great gift, apparently.
The realest!.......2007-06-03
This is such a funny book and even though things are said in a humorous way, most of what is said is true. I have laughed out loud several times while reading this book. But besides being so funny it also has a lot of useful stuff in it. There are a lot of tips in it like what is important to pack for moving to a dorm, some quick and easy recipes for those that don't cook, the fastest, neatest way to fold a shirt. What can be better than a book that makes you laugh AND help you out? Anyone that is in, has been in, or is planning to go to college will love it. This book is great!
This could be the greatest book of all time.......2007-05-14
I am a high school senior, who hates to read. but let me tell you, this book is probably one of the greatest book EVER written. It explains the entire college experience from the last days of high school all the way through college graduation and everything in between. This book is a must have for any high school senior. Hands down. Basically if you are getting ready to go to college, buy this book because it is as important as your freshmen orientation.Hope you enjoy the book as much as i do.
Oh, what little did I know.......2007-05-13
College life planned in a book and mixed with all the drugs you could do.
Love The Site, Love The Book.......2007-03-28
I thought I'd already written a review for this but I hadn't! How bad is that? It's because I mixed some of the potent drinks described on the book and on the site. This book is very funny. It has two of the key writers from the site on it, Sarah and Streeter, who do most of the writing for the site or at least used to, and that helps keep it up to the high standards of the site. Some others have come on, some of who just aren't as good. It has alot of funny concepts and comments on college and college life. It's clever and original and in your face. The new book from the site Faking It isn't as good, but it's an okay read. God is a Woman - Dating Disasters is really good, too, Sarah and Streeter reviewed it with high marks. I also started this new book Schmucks by Jackie Mason and its very funny, too, talking about all the crazy stars of today and their behavior, like Mel Gibson. Anyway this book gets you to ask "What am I doing here?" about college in a fun way. If you think about it, the whole idea of college is really kind of bizarre, but a really fun bizarre that keeps us from having to face life for another 4 years - or 5 - or 6 - or, Jesus, just how bad are your grades?

Most useful information omitted.......2007-02-26
This book is fine for people who have never heard of a 529 plan. However, for people who would like to compare 529 plans in order to choose the best investment vehicle for college savings will be sadly disappointed. The book offers a checklist of questions to ask about state 529 plans, yet, in the description of each plan, none of these questions are answered. This requires that you look up or contact each plan individually in order to get these questions answered such as whether the plan allows rollovers, if the plan is IRS qualified and if the plan accepts contributions from non-owners, etc. Also, most people comparing 529 plans would like some general idea of how popular each fund is and how well it has been perfomring recently. The author could have easily summarized this information generally for each plan but chose not to, again, leaving it to the reader to research each plan individually. I would not recommend this book. The information given about each 529 state plan is almost identical across states and, again, information that would distinguish each plan from another is omitted.
Excellent overview of strategies/options for saving for college (not just 529 plans).......2007-02-01
This book clarified several doubts, myths and misconceptions about 529 plans. I was concerned that the book only discussed 529 plans (because of the subtitle), but even though 529 plans are the main topic covered, it also talks about other options (UGMA/UTMA accounts, Coverdell ESAs, etc.) compares and contrasts them.
The book is clearly written and explains financial and tax details of 529 plans at a level most readers will easily understand. You should buy the latest edition (2007) as it contains the most updated information. For instance it mentions about the pension bill that extended the tax-free account withdrawals for 529s beyond 2010.
I was also very happy about the detailed chapter on tax benefits. It mentions several unique features of some plans, for instance the fact that if you are a resident of the state of Pennsylvania, you can now deduct contributions (up to $12,000) to any 529 plan from your state income tax.
About a third of the book has an overview of 529 plans offered by each state, while useful, this information is also available in the companion [...], which also happens to be an excellent resource. In my wish list for this book I would include access to the premium content on the companion website.
Best Way to Save for College............2007-01-18
Has some great ideas for 529 plans. Take home message: it's not hard to get started, and get started NOW if you've not already! I wanted to get a better idea of 529s, as we've had Upromise for quite a while now. Good State-by-State analysis.
Book Description

Not helpful.......2007-10-12
I was looking for a book with some pictures to help my wife give me haircuts. The only methods used were funky, didn't have the standard male haircut in it
Will I be working at Vidal Sasoon anytime soon?.......2007-07-20
I'm not sure if anyone can learn to master a skill from a book; could you really learn a language or how to cook by reading about it, especially if you're a beginner? But you can get some basic skills and I found this book to be a good beginning. The photos are clear as are the directions. I cut my own hair from this book (not the easiest or the brightest accomplishment) and it wasn't the worst haircut I ever had; it was pretty decent. I actually got a couple of compliments on it. But it was a very basic cut and there are only pictures for a few styles. I have fine, medium-length curly hair and there was no picture for that cut. The author does suggest variations on the basic styles she does give, but without the pictures and the step-by step instructions, I felt it was a little too complicated to chance. Also, the styles are really basic and somewhat dated. I could have followed the style for long, curly hair, although it was for thick hair, but the style was awful even for the 1970s, when it was in fashion.
But you can easily learn to give a basic cut or trim friends and family members' hair in between visits to the salon, save a bit of money and feel proud that you can do something for yourself. And if you really love it then you can go and enroll in beauty school. As for me, I am going to buy a French language CD.
Tons of photos, easy to follow; styles are simple but timeless.......2007-04-02
My husband's hair grows faster than mushrooms on a damp night, so you can imagine how much it would cost to keep his hair trimmed. He used to just wear it long but that's no longer practical. I had been cutting his hair, but all I could do was give him a buzz cut with the clippers, or this strange cut that made him *look* like a mushroom.
I guess I wanted more inspiration.
I liked this book because it covers hair styles for men, women and children. Most of the styles are simple enough for beginners but there are also more advanced techniques included such as layering and blending. Also, the styles are not trendy at all. You won't find the Rachel cut, or the Farah Fawcett shag. Instead these hairstyles are classic and should endure for years and years to come. Also included in this book:
* How to do bangs, blunt and curved.
* How to do a blunt cut for short, medium or long hair
* How to do layered cuts for short, medium and long hair
* Children's haircuts for boys and girls
* Four classic men's hair cuts
* Hair preparation, cutting angles and how to establish guides
I'm a visual learner and the tons of photos really helped. I also liked that the photos were of real people with all shapes and sizes of faces, with all types of hairs. Not the professional models where every hair cut would look fabulous on them.
An added bonus is a section that gives recipes for shampoos, rinses and hair moisturizing treatments. The author argues that it is sometimes cheaper to make your own haircare products and that many manufactured products have a petrolatum base which can build up in your hair.
All in all, I have been very satisfied with this book. It covers everything about the basics and hair care to boot! It does not have a huge selection of styles to choose from, however for my purposes, it is more than adequate.
Basic.......2006-08-27
This is a good picture book but very basic. It's enough for me but if you want tons of styles to choose from this one is not for you.
This is a very well done book with color pictures.......2004-10-03
Note: My review is for the 2002 Edition. There is also a 2005.
I ordered this book from Amazon. I feel this is a great book considering that most haircutting books use illustrations to show how to cut hair and this one uses pictures of people. The book also has some recipes for making your own products. I also like that this book is written in layman's terms so anyone can learn. It may not have more advanced cuts but it's a quality book. You can't get much better info unless you watch a video or take a class. It has step by step instructions for the following,
For Children:
Girls' one-length cut / Girls' medium one-length cut / Boys' one-length short cut.
For Women:
Short one-length cut with bangs / Medium one-length cut with bangs / Long one-length cut / Short layered cut /
Short layered wispy cut / Short one length cut with layered back /
Medium layered cut / Long layered cut.
For Men:
Short cut / Short layered cut / Medium layered cut / Clipper cut (very short).
There are also plenty of pictures of other styles that aren't step by step.

Parenting a college-bound student is a tricky business--combining your emotional and financial support with your child's newfound independence can seem nearly impossible. The authors of Don't Tell Me What to Do, Just Send Money are all too familiar with these difficulties and have created a practical guide that addresses specific situations and provides effective guidelines for changing the parent-child relationship. Topics are addressed frankly, and many parents may have trouble reading the sections concerning controversial subjects such as drug and alcohol use, birth control, homosexuality, and changes in religious and political beliefs. The emphasis here is not on changing your kid's mind about any of these things, but rather how parents can approach these sensitive topics while maintaining a positive and honest relationship. Most pages contain small text boxes highlighting what's on your mind and what's on your child's mind, as well as practical lists suggesting what to do and what to avoid, and these can be extremely helpful as a quick reference when faced with a sudden announcement from your student who's decided to change majors, stop living in the dorm, or study abroad.
With a down-to-earth tone and clear insight into the minds of both parents and college students, this is an easy-to-read book that manages to handle difficult topics without preaching or downplaying important events. Ultimately, this book aims to help parents and their nearly adult children make the transition to a new kind of relationship, ideally one that is open and mutually respectful. With careful reading and consideration, the suggestions presented will help create a handy road map to lead you through the twists and turns of parenting your college student. --Jill Lightner

An okay book . . ........2006-08-08
if you really need it. Personally, I thought some of the scenarios were more likely to have occured during the high school years than during college. For instance, the one in which the girl in college becomes jealous of her single mother's time and attention when the mother starts dating. I would expect someone who is considered mature enough to go off to college to be mature enough to handle the fact that mom has a love life. As for the sections devoted to parents who harrass the university faculty/staff on behalf of their kids - surely these folks are aberrations? When she was in HS, I sometimes intervened in situations but over the last three years, my daughter has grown into a mature, poised and intelligent young woman and as such I expect her to handle these things on her own. I would never dream of intervening in an academic situation on her behalf now. It's frankly none of my business.
From a College Faculty Member.......2005-10-22
Faculty, administrators, and staff all over the country have experienced growing problems with the "Net" or "Echo Boomer" generation, aged 17-24 years old. Poor work habits, a weak work ethic, an exaggerated sense of entitlement, disrespectful and destructive behavior in the classroom, and lack of responsbility plague American college classrooms because of this generation. It is not truly new; the addition of parents who cling, refuse to take responsbilitiy themselves, and are frequently deluded into believing that "baby Einstein" deserves nothing less than a Nobel Prize simply for coming to class--this is the dimension that is new.
Parents should educate themselves about college policies, student development, and their own psychological issues. This book is a start. Begin with the Federal Educational Right to Privacy Act, or FERPA. Even if you pay for junior's education, you may NOT legally access information without explicit, documented, and directed consent of the student. Furthermore, it is the STUDENT who must understand Code of Conduct and Academic Standards policies.
Furthermore, ask yourself if YOU would hire a worker who: does not come to work on time and frequently leaves early, who allows cell phones to buzz through important meetings and works on personal materials on your time, leaves for weeks at a time and expects management to "catch them up to speed", who does little or no work and complains when work is assigned, will not turn in material in a timely manner, and when questioned sends relatives or friends to you to "DISCUSS" "your problem." FYI: this could be YOUR son or daughter!
Excellent morale support.......2005-10-10
I found this book to be a great resource dealing with sending our first child off to college. It was helpful knowing his uncharacteristic behavior was normal, and comforting to know other parents have experienced the same. I was surprised to find not only behaviors explained, but great advise regarding the financial puzzles new to first time college parents. This book is a must for parents of college-bond children!
Just what the doctor ordered.......2005-04-27
If Dr. Spock were alive he would have approved of this book. This is one of the few good parenting books dealing with "almost adult" children not living at home. It showed me that one of the hardest things a parent has to do is to let go of active parenting (ie, telling them what to do) and adopt a posture of mentoring with their college-aged child. Why was this so hard? We do it with other adults all time. This book gave me "permission" to stop worrying about letting my child make decisions which affect her life (and not necessarily mine). Once I read the scenarios (which are all too real) and the different approaches to responses, I found myself much more comfortable with the idea of helping her to determine her own fate -- one of her choosing and not of mine. Yes, it still takes practice and yes, sometimes I am holding my tongue (and choking on my response), but our relationship is better and she is becoming her own woman instead of a mini-clone of me. Guess what? Now that I am not judgemental or authorative she is telling me so much more. Now THAT'S an improvement!
Great book!.......2002-03-20
This book is great for parents. It offers realistic advice! I am the author of The ABC's of College Life, which is a street-smart guide for teens. I consider this book the street-smart guide for the 'rents!
Book Description

hi.......2001-08-17
I havent read this book but my Aunt Jill wrote it and i am sure its good
College Countdown.......2000-03-10
I recommend this book for all of my students who are planning to attend college. The book is comprehensive, easy to follow, and unlike other books on college it has handy examples of sample resumes, worksheets for listing college visits and contacts, sample questions for interviews, timelines for scholarships and applications, and a sample of a thank you note for recommendations. The book is easy to follow and is based on Mrs. VonGruben's own personal experiences with her children. The college industry has become a big business and wise students and parents need to explore all options. This book will help them to know when to begin the college planning process, how to go about it, and enable students and parents to make wise decisions regarding college.
A Must Read!.......2000-02-21
VonGruben crafts a must read for any graduating high school student or high school parent. From Financial Aid to Admissions, this is an invaluable tool. Hats off to VonGruben!

Customer Reviews:
I wish I would have had this book about 10 years ago!.......2005-01-16
I'm a graduate student, and I got "Financial Basics" as a resource for a project I did last quarter. My project centered around measuring college students' financial awareness and proactiveness.
Book was an easy, non-threatening read. I started and finished "Financial Basics" during a 2.5 hour plane ride.
Great thing about the book is that you don't necessarily have to be a student (or former student) to benefit from the advice Knox presents. Everyone interviewed for the book had differing financial situations and education--from the financially clueless to the overly stingy and everywhere in between. Instead of trying to fit everyone into one black-and-white financial solution, she gave easy-to-follow, general tips on money management, credit card responsibility, and savings.
Excellent Primer for Students.......2004-12-16
I am a professional financial advisor and have had the opportunity to work with many clients in their 40's and beyond who haven't mastered the basics presented here by Knox. How I wish they had this book 20 years earlier to get them started on the right path - the time lost really hurts. The money management lessons are timeless, straightforward and essential for everyone, especially young adults striking out on their own. The writing is special - stories that help students relate (and make them want to keep reading). The lessons are doled out gently and casually, not more preaching. All-in-all, an excellent resource. I plan to give it to my clients' kids as they hit high school.
Your Credit Rating Counts.......2004-09-20
I sent Financial Basics with my nephew to college. It's a very practical money-management guide for students that generously uses student stories to illustrate the author's points. Most impressive to me is the section that reminds students that their credit rating, good or bad, will follow them after college graduation. She provides contact information for credit rating companies so students can view their own credit history.
Practical solutions to common money problems.......2004-09-11
Also available in a hardcover edition (0814290785, $39.95), Financial Basics: A Money-Management Guide For Students by certified public account, financial planner, and former university administrator and teacher Susan Knox shares hard-learned lessons about managing money when in college. Practical solutions to common money problems faced by students and family, as well as flexible money-management tips, tricks, and techniques for readers accustomed to handling their money in any of a variety of styles fill this solid, information-packed resource. An absolute must-have for any young adult entering the complex world of financial matters, especially when attending school far away from home.
Book Description
With the rising cost of a diploma, it's more important than ever to plan carefully for education. This handy guide covers everything from tax-friendly savings accounts to getting a piece of the $74 billion financial aid pie. Tables and worksheets are included.
Customer Reviews:
common sense.......2003-06-29
This book only has common sense ideas in it. I generally like the motley fools products. However, this book should be purchased only by those who do not have a basic understanding of how to save or prepare for college. We all know it is best to start saving early and talk to people at the schools about how to get a scholarship.
Who Knew School Could be So Affordable?.......2003-03-29
This book tackles a daunting financial topic and makes it easy to digest. Best of all, it's only 125 pages, so I didn't have to commit hours and hours of my time to learn what I needed to know. The book offered charts, tables and plain English, distilling topics such as the Education IRA (now called the Coverdell ESA), 529 Plans (there are two main kinds of these and you can sock away up to $100,000 or more in them -- who knew??) and even paying for elementary school and grad school. Oh -- and did I mention that it's funny, too?

Book Description
While academic freedom enables members of the academic community to pursue their work, it can also become a source of conflict between faculty members as well as individual faculty and administrators. In most instances, conflict in an academic environment requires only a clear system in which to pursue resolution. The creation of such a conflict management system will ideally correct misunderstandings before they lead to greater problems, and as such, it is of crucial importance to every higher education institution.
Work and Peace in Academe assesses the nature of conflict in academic environments and describes practical ways to prevent and resolve unproductive disputes. Through stories, vignettes, and case studies, the author emphasizes the importance of integrity and trust to the ongoing success of any approach to managing conflict. To help readers develop effective conflict resolution systems, the book includes
-
A framework for understanding conflict in an academic environment
-
Suggested methods of conflict resolution
-
Identification of key players and resources involved in effective systems
-
Ideas for integrating dispute prevention, resolution, and management
-
Best practices in conflict management
Written for administrators and faculty leaders, Work and Peace in Academe will guide readers in developing a systematic approach to dispute resolution that preserves an institution’s culture, history, procedures, and practices.
