Overview

  • Appropriate for Freshman Orientation, Student Success, College Preparation, "University 101."
  • This streamlined, shorter version of the interactive best-selling text emphasizes thinking and learning by connecting college success skills to career and life skills:
  • Critical, creative, and strategic THINKING. This centerpoint of academic, career success, and life success is emphasized throughout this book in each chapter, in end-of-chapter exercises and in a separate chapter.
  • DIVERSITY is a thread that unites all the topics of the book. In addition to chapter 8's astute and sensitive discussion of diversity, diverse needs are treated in the context of every possible topic (for example, time management - juggling part-time work and/or family with school, note-taking - different learning styles take different kinds of notes).
  • End of chapter EXERCISES reinforce four major skills: THINKING, TEAMWORK, WRITING, and STRATEGIC THINKING/PLANNING. The learn-by-doing approach involves students in discovering their abilities first-hand. The work puts skills in the context of work and life situations, helping students see how their work in school will serve them both in class and later on the job and in their personal lives.
