Riguardo questo articolo

LIGHTNING FAST SHIPPING! A heavily used, but still working copy. Coffee stain and wrinkling to the edge of the pages when a tired undergrad fell asleep and knocked their cup over on their books. The binding and pages of the book have been reinforced with tape, has tape and stickers on the cover, as well as lots of notes (some of the answers in the learning activities may be filled in) on the pages. Definitely not pretty, but it's a working copy at a great price that ships fast. ~ Book does NOT contain an access code or CD/DVD.

Riassunto

This innovative, research-based volume shows readers how skill AND will are both necessary for success in learning throughout life. It takes readers from where they are currently on the skill-will continuum (high skill, low will; low skill, high will; low skill, low will; or high skill, high will) and helps them develop a variety of learning strategies, tells them when to use them, and explains how to generate the energy, desire, and self-confidence to make those strategies work for them. Multiple assessments throughout help readers evaluate their skills, and hands-on activities allow them to try out new strategies. Becoming a Self-Regulated Learner. Skill Components. Will Components. Resource Management: Using the Tools Available to You. Improving Your Attention and Memory. Improving Your Cognition and Metacognition. Taking Notes. Taking Tests. Improving Your Reading.

It takes two things to be successful in college―skill and will. College success requires developing the proper learning strategies and the knowledge of when to use those strategies (skill) and the energy, desire, and self-confidence to make those strategies work (will).

Key Features:

• Multiple assessments of learning and motivation, providing students with valuable feedback
• Practical learning strategies

• Advice grounded in scientific research
• Hands-on learning activities to improve thinking and motivation
