Amazon.com Review
The fast-paced schedule and heavy workload they face during the first semester of college leaves many freshmen struggling to keep up. Often, study techniques that served students well in high school don't measure up in their new environment. The answer: finding out how to study and learn strategically. Geared to instructors, College Study Skills provides both the guidance and the hands-on exercises needed to help students improve their ability to learn in the university setting. Chapters on adjusting to college, setting goals, improving memory and concentration, and managing time complement those dealing with more concrete skills such as reading, note-taking, highlighting, preparing for exams, and taking essay tests. In addition to clearly explaining different learning strategies, each chapter also includes useful examples as well as practice activities and self-evaluation techniques.

Review
"I feel the writing style is very easy to read and each chapter seems clearly written. Most topics are broken down into small easy to understand sections…I also like the way some of the activities/tip boxes have a non-traditional component to them."
"I like the level and tone of this text. It is easily understood… The TIP boxes are a good summary for students."
"The greatest strengths are the many examples, the "Where Are You Now" and TIP boxes and the fact that underlying theory--the "why" is clearly explained."
"Regardless of the topic, her address is straightforward without being condescending, a characteristic that is sure to be appreciated by a diverse collection of classroom students."
"I rate the quality of the text as excellent…I am anxious for the "breath of fresh air" that a top new quality textbook such as College Study Skills breathes into the classroom environment."

exactly what I needed,

This review is from: College Study Skills: Becoming a Strategic Learner (Paperback)
The book is well organized, from time management, note taking, memorizing to preparing for tests and exams, it's more like a workbook, that you may want to keep and refer to it whenever you need to.highglights : Memorizing, nothing revoltionnary here, would be very helpful if you haven't read anything in the subject before Lecture notetaking and textbook notetaking, I liked how the book made a chapter for each one, Reading textbook : he briefly exposes some of the reading techniques out there like SQ3R .. and details one of them etc. Exercises summary and even tests to practice after each chapter. the book though is still expensive to me !

This review is from: College Study Skills: Becoming a Strategic Learner (Paperback)
For source material this book meets the task, however the book was in poor condition. As I'll it just for myself this will work out, but had this been for someone else...I'm not saying this because of the price, simply because people should be aware that some of the material won't be the quality they are looking for sometimes.
