For courses at all levels in Academic Assistance Programs, developmental departments, and freshman/sophomore-level orientation courses.
Unique in focus and approach, this text not only gets right to the heart of what students need to succeed academically in higher education today―where a vast amount of information coupled with limited time can easily overwhelm those with weak or no knowledge of efficient and effective learning strategies―but it does so in a manner that readily appeals to today's action-oriented students who function in a fast-paced world that values excellence. Written by an expert in the field―and reflecting advice of students who were actually encountering the daily challenges of college life―it is filled with practical suggestions for all aspects of the college academic experience―from preparing for college to graduation―and is applicable to a variety of learning situations. Exceptionally user-friendly in appearance and organization, it features an upbeat, informal tone, a conversational and interactive style, abundant visuals, and a quick-access format―making it a welcome resource for even the most frustrated student. Each section can be used independently or blended together to form an integrated whole.
