Riassunto

Essential Study Skills, 5/e, provides in-depth coverage of study skills with ample room for practice and application. Appropriate for students at both 2-year and 4-year schools?including adult learners?this text can be adapted to any learning style and follows a step-by-step approach that guides students through the process of learning the skills necessary for college success.

• A fully excerpted psychology chapter (Appendix D) places study skills in context by showing students how to apply strategies in academic coursework. Students benefit from having a common reading to apply newly acquired skills, and the chapter, "Health, Stress, and Coping," contains content that is relevant to first-year college students of all ages making the transition to higher education.
• "Essential Strategies" charts offer key strategies and generalized principles in a to-the-point and easy-to-reference format.
• Online practice and online case studies provide practice and reinforcement of concepts from the text. References throughout the text direct students to these relevant, interactive activities and case studies. The activities test knowledge and skills while providing students with immediate feedback on their responses, which can be printed or emailed to instructors.
• Unit 3, "Developing Effective Textbook Reading Strategies," includes a greater variety of learning strategies and new excerpts from science, psychology, history, and mathematics, as well as textbooks from other disciplines.
• Reflection Writing Assignments promote critical thinking and utilization of strategies and concepts in a culminating assignment. In addition, the Reflection Writing assignments provide instructors with information about the students' profile scores and current skill-levels related to the chapter content, and show students' understanding and application of the chapter content to their personal experiences and approach to studying.
