Editorial Reviews
Review
“I find this to be a powerful book for incoming students, full of well-considered, useful guidelines and assists for students making the transition from high school to college today…This is the one first-year experience text I’ve reviewed in a while to which I am giving an unreserved thumbs up.”
-- Judith J. Pula
-- Frostburg State University
“The single most distinguishing concept is the meaning of the title, itself: ‘Essential Ingredients.’ The book focuses on only this and eliminates a lot of fluff that is included in many other texts… The current pedagogical and metacognitive approach to study skills matches other textbooks, but Essential Ingredients is the bacon, trimmed of the fat.”
-- Elizabeth Stewart
-- City College of San Francisco
From the Back Cover
College Study: The Essential Ingredients, 2nd edition
Sally Lipsky
Building on the success of the first edition, this revised edition of College Study contains a complete and balanced coverage of essential learning and study techniques, with an emphasis on critical thinking and problem solving at the college level. Using an active learning approach, this text integrates student behaviors, attitudes, and learning styles focusing on reader choice, application, and assessment of practical strategies. This concept creates an effective, efficient, and individualized system of study that guides students to become self-regulating learners.
New features include:
- The VARK Questionnaire — an instrument assessing Visual, Aural, Read/Write and Kinesthetic preferences gives students an immediate assessment of their individual learning styles.
- Online Learning — addresses strategies regarding attitude and motivation, time management and procrastination, reading, note taking, and test taking within the framework of online learning.
- Critical Thinking Tasks — provides activities involving critical, creative, and problem-solving thinking skills.
- Comprehension checks -- provide a reminder and formats for students to check understanding and recall of key content.
College Study now has its own Companion website which contains supplemental activities for readers; problem-solving scenarios centered on topics presented in the text chapters; learning style information and activities; and a course culminating assignment from chapter eight of the text. Instructors also have access to power point presentations for each chapter and sample lesson plans. The site (www.prenhall.com/lipsky) can also be accessed through the Student success Supersite (www.prenhall.com/success) where students and faculty will find a wise array of resources.
