Book Description

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.

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.
