Versandkostenfrei!
Nicht lieferbar
For courses in Study Skills, Student Success, Freshman Seminar or “University 101”.
The sixth edition is geared to students who are academically underprepared for college-level studies, especially first-generation and at-risk students. The text helps students build habits for success and develop the thinking, self-management, and study skills they need to succeed academically, and has been streamlined to focus more on essential study skills, with greater coverage of memory, studying, reading, and test-taking. It retains its acclaimed simple-to-use Critical and Creative Thinking coverage, and adds relevance by addressing the two greatest barriers to staying in school—time and money management. Understanding how you think is key; this revision promotes students’ self-awareness, and offers a pre- and post-course assessment. The Habits for Success theme is more integrated and practical to ensure students develop the tools needed to increase their preparedness, confidence, and commitment to learning.

Appendices on research, writing, and quantitative learning provide excellent resources.
Coverage offers help to academically underprepared students so they have access to in-depth instruction that readies them for the rigors of college-level work. Offers strategies they can use and apply across disciplines.
Improved “Habits for Success” Theme—This research-based theme is approachable, usable, and integrated. Each chapter features one competency or “Habit,” a role model feature, a journal question, and an end-of-chapter wrap-up exercise. At the end of each part, students are asked to work on one habit of their choosing and plan, set goals, and evaluate their progress.
Provides students with a framework that encourages them to learn independently, take responsibility for their success, problem solve, and evaluate themselves.
Proven End-of-chapter Exercises. Three chapter-ending exercises build skills underprepared students need. The unique "Test Prep: Start It Now" exercise (new to this edition) focuses students on test preparation strategies from the first day of class to finals week. Critical Thinking: Applying Learning to Life" connects critical thinking to the chapter topic, giving students the chance to strengthen this crucial skill over time. "TeamBuilding: Collaborative Solutions" approaches a chapter topic from a group work perspective, developing teamwork, problem solving, and social skills in a concrete way.

More Ways to Build Self Awareness: 1) Powerful Questions. This journaling prompt appears once per chapter. The questions are based on coaching models that encourage self-reflection, goal setting, and action. 2) Embedded in-text self-assessments. In each chapter students check in with their thoughts and status on a topic immediately after reading that topic. 3) Multiple Intelligence grids-- expanded and improved from the 5e -- appear in chapters 3 through 11. Each grid presents learning preferences strategies linked to a chapter topic, poses a related problem, and asks students to brainstorm solutions that will work best for them.
Students have a chance to stop, look within, and come up with ideas and actions that will serve their personal goals.
Retains Acclaimed, Simple-to-Use Critical Thinking emphasis. Offers more critical thinking practice and coverage than any other text. Thinking is integrated throughout the text, revisited in study skills chapters, and covered in a Critical and Creative thinking chapter that gives the most practical applications of these skills - problem solving and decision making. They are hallmark, with simple models that any student can learn to use with the in-text worksheets that walk them through a step-by-step process. The clarity of the chapter organization ensures that students of all levels can learn how to analyze, reason, and make sound evaluations.
Builds students' ability to think critically and creatively in a clear, structured, “learn by doing” way.
Early learning preferences coverage with integrated applications—An early chapter on learning how you learn showcases several learning styles/preferences and personality inventories.

Later skills chapters contain grids linking MI-based study techniques to chapter material so students continue to think about how they learn on an ongoing basis.
