I use this book with students. They love it! It provides helpful strategies to enhance listening skills, note taking skills, comprehension, test taking preparation and time management. Students keep this book and refer to it often.

This book is basically designed for an elementary, maybe middle school aged child. THe focus is on critical thinking, and everyday life skills such as balancing your checkbook, and managing your time wisely.

That's the main message of this textbook. According to this worthless piece of junk, if you fail in a class, it's totally your fault. There are no such things as bad professors, just bad students. No matter how well you think you tried to take notes and be an "active listener," you apparently just weren't trying hard enough! If you get a bad grade on a test, why, the professor NEVER could have supplied you with unclear, badly written questions, or even quizzed you on material you didn't cover! It's all YOUR fault! And don't you ever dare disagree with the teacher, even if they're stating something factually wrong! You're mistaken!

I just started college,when I first started reading this book the author Carol C. Kanar wrote this book because she knew how it felt to be a first time student and wanted it to be a little easier for others who was new to college as she was.The purpose of this book is to help new college students be able to locate everything it talks alot about diversity and being able to use your resources to knowing the president of the college where your lab classes are what makes you motivated etc........,this book sucks,it's long and dragged out.And then the questions you haf to answer at the end of each chapter as well as throughout the chapter is a pain.This book is so detailed it's irratating.Because it goes on and on and on.It's almost like this book was made or should've been made for school aged CHILDREN.I have no choice but to continue reading this book because the class PAS1010 is mandatory for 1st time college students.But I'm telling you this book is a waste of time and money.If you can buy it used please do so.

I am the envy of my class, Everyone paid $66.00 brand new. This one I have had only pencil marks in it. and I got it at the low low price of $3.20. It was the best money I EVER spent. I will come to Amazon.com first,always!

The book was cheep and got to me on time but mulitple chapeters were ripped out. when i read about the book they said it was in good condidton and it was but when i went to study a chapter it was missing. i am not to pleased. my other book is perfectly fine though.
