This best-selling text has helped over a million students transform adequate work into academic success. The Ninth Edition maintains the straightforward and traditional academic format that have made it the leading study skills text in the market. Based on widely tested educational and learning theories, How to Study in College teaches study techniques such as visual thinking, active listening, concentration, note taking, and test taking, while also incorporating material on life skills. Questions in the Margin, introduced in the previous edition and based on the Cornell Note Taking System, places key questions about content in the margins of the text to provide students with a means for reviewing and reciting the book's main ideas. Students then use this concept--the Q-System--to formulate their own questions. The Ninth Edition has been revised to include fewer questions in later chapters to encourage students to practice the Q System and provide their own questions so that they can learn to apply these concepts in subsequent academic courses. Marginal "It's Your Q" icons alert students when they should develop a question.

Learn how to study,

This review is from: How to Study in College (Paperback)
Great methods for review and studying material. The strategies are extremely helpful. The product arrived in excellent condition and in a timely manner. As a returning 'older student' (over 35) to a four year college I needed help in establishing study skills, time management, and note taking. Quite frankly, with the cost of college classes, textbooks, etc. I just could not afford to retake my classes. I had to get an 'A' first time out. This book gave me the foundation to becoming an 'A' student. It's just a great book, no matter what your course of study. One caution - author gives several study methods. If one doesn't work for you move on to another. We all have different learning styles. Learn yours and maximize it! Check it out at the College Library first before purchasing. You will want buy your own to keep and mark in.

This review is from: How to Study in College (Paperback)
I ordered this book for my daughter who lives on campus and needed it ASAP. This was a used book and I was nervous about what type of condition it would be in and not knowing if it would arrive quickly. Boy, was I very pleasantly surprised! I ordered it Thurs-9/16/10 and it arrived at her dorm Sat-9/18/10. That was "Great Service"! My daughter indicated the book was in very good condition. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because the CD was missing but I realized that was a possibility. I wouldn't hesitate to order from this vendor again and highly recommend them.
