For Freshman Orientation, Student Success, and Study Skills courses. The focus of this text is on academic adjustment for first-year college students; its theme is claiming an education and taking responsibility for one's own experience. It addresses both the attitudinal variables and personality traits that affect college achievement. Students are pushed to consider how each skill set, perception, and attitude connects with and influences the other. Both challenging and accessible, Foundations for Learning doesn't talk down to students with simplified vocabulary, yet it is to the point and practical. Clear structure and logical topic progression aid instructors in course design and implementation.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"This book is a winner for any college student. It is superbly written and chock full of good ideas and just about every suggestion is 'actionable'. I have rarely seen a book so practible and so readable. Students will find concrete examples illustrating how to overcome potential problems. It is a beautifully written joy to read." Richard J. Light, The Walter H. Gale Professor of Education, Harvard University
