Over a million students have transformed adequate work into academic achievement with this best-selling text. HOW TO STUDY IN COLLEGE sets students on the path to success by helping them build a strong foundation of study skills, and learn how to gain, retain, and explain information. 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 vocabulary building. Questions in the Margin, 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 main ideas. Students then use this technique--the Q-System--to formulate their own questions. The Eleventh Edition maintains the straightforward and traditional academic format that has made HOW TO STUDY IN COLLEGE the leading study skills text in the market.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"There is no textbook as comprehensive as the Pauk [How to Study in College] textbook! I urge students to buy the book as they would a dictionary or thesaurus AND especially if they plan to transfer. The added content that is now available electronically is perfect because there are times I have to teach this class as an independent study - due to low enrollment - and this is perfect for those students."

"The Concept Maps work effectively to give students "advanced organizers," of the chapter ahead; I point out the concept maps early in the semester and we discuss the ways in which they can be used as a survey tool and, later, as a review tool (because the arrows visually link up the topics in a chapter and because the student can quickly find something to revisit for increased clarification and review)."

About the Author

A true pioneer in the field of study skills, Dr. Walter Pauk has been dispensing common-sense advice to students for more than half a century. Pauk led the way in advocating the now popular wide margin note-taking strategy commonly known as the Cornell System. A licensed psychologist and trusted teacher, Pauk was director of the Reading-Study Center at Cornell University, where he earned his PhD in Psychology and Education and remains Professor Emeritus. He is the author of more than 100 books.

A long-time collaborator with Dr. Walter Pauk, Ross Owens earned his BA cum laude in English and film at Carleton College and did graduate work in film at the University of Iowa and the University of Maryland, where he also taught film history, filmmaking, and public speaking. Since first teaming with Dr. Pauk in 1982, Owens has contributed to a number of books on reading and study skills. In addition, he has written numerous articles on Internet-related topics and is an accomplished computer programmer.

Very good but overpriced book

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 12, 2021

Verified Purchase

Ineffective discussion on preventing distractions and maintaining motivation in the first chapter. Recommend Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver Burkeman for useful time management attitudes.

The best part of this book is that it trains you to ask questions about the main topic of paragraphs by demonstrating how to do it. Literally 95% of the paragraphs of the book have questions in the left margin as a demonstration of how to do it. The other 5% of the paragraphs prompt you to do your own. This process is perfect for learning the material. And it provides the input needed to formulate that learning into Anki cards to remember what you've learned. I will definitely be using many of the techniques that I have learned in this book. But buy used due to over pricing by the publisher.

This is not really a helpful book on how to study. It's a college textbook for a course in how to study in college. I was disappointed in the contect.

Invaluable basics for all.....HOWEVER.....

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 27, 2013

My 2nd edition copy bought in the late 70s has a price stamped inside of $7.20. The fact that the current edition costs over $100 literally makes me sick to my stomach!

I work with MANY college students to whom I have imparted Walter Pauk's sage advice for years! Part of the value I found (and still find) in the book are wonderful notations I made IN the book while I was reading it - a technique Pauk instructs and reinforces in the text. Students need that "active learning" for this text-engagement to be meaningful. Therefore, "renting" this book is ludicrous!! I still find value in returning to my old notes and thoughts 30+ years later!

Most alarming though is the simple fact that my students who often need this wisdom and active learning the most are totally not capable of dishing out $110+ for a "How to" book. These students are barely able to make tuition payments!!!!

Come on, Cengage....cut these students a break and get this book into the hands (and minds) of those who need it most!!!!!

In the meantime....folks, the 2nd edition (my old reliable) is available to purchase here on Amazon for less than a buck. ;-)

Second Edition 1980. Pages are well worn. Saved My Life. Opened the doors of the universe for me.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 21, 2015

The author died several years ago. Smart educator. Create a study skills book, teaching the "how to". $120. What price do you put on value? I have the second edition. Purchased it right before I got out of the AirForce. Took a night class on base that was built around the book. I had a teacher who oozed with passion about the book and taught it well. I was a C - D student in high school. Poor reading skills. Scared to death of college. I went in with confidence and used the book everyday. I graduated college in less than four years, 3.47 gpa. I would have 4.0 but having a second child, and loading trucks at ups late at night took it's toll. I probably have given 12 of these books away throughout my life. Sorry, but this book is well worth it. Better if you can find a teacher who is excited about teaching the book. Thank you Dr. Jackson. Kadena Air Base, Okinawa Japan 1980.
P.s. I am buying another one.
