About this course

This companion course turns the book's framework into interactive practice. Each module is built around the four student profiles Dr. Ehlers writes for throughout the book:

First-GenerationFirst in your family, without a roadmap.

Working StudentFull load plus a job, family, or both.

Pre-ProfessionalBuilding the record for law, med, grad, or industry.

TransferReorienting from community college or another institution.

The content is the same for everyone; the callouts speak directly to whichever situation fits yours.

How progress works

The course is free and open — no account, no email, no enrollment code. Your progress saves in this browser, on this device. Clearing your browser data clears your progress.

The verification rule

Every citation, every statistic, every factual claim

— verified against a primary source before it appears in academic work. The book's core discipline, and the one this course practices most. If you take nothing else away, take this.
