COLLEGE STUDY SKILLS: BECOMING A STRATEGIC LEARNER, Sixth Edition is a
wide-ranging, practical text that focuses on helping you become actively
engaged in your own learning. The text incorporates active learning
strategies to help you succeed in college by introducing a strategy,
allowing you to practice it, and asking you to do self-assessments to gain
feedback on your own success. This variety of strategies and activities,
as well as authentic and engaging text material from numerous core subject
areas, gives you opportunities to apply what you are learning to your
course work in other college classes. Chapters such as "Getting Ready to
Learn", "Setting Goals", "Organizing Text Information", and "Preparing for
Essay Exams" will help you adjust to the new environment and expectations
of college learning, and a dynamic website that accompanies the text
provides you with additional resources for practice, transfer, and
self-assessment.
