With its active "learn–by–doing" approach, this textbook establishes the skills needed for learning and career and life achievement. Critical thinking techniques improve students' effectiveness in school and the workplace. These skills serve as a continual source of information and inspiration. Positive self–awareness, confidence, and responsibility are fostered by building skills in goal–setting, problem–solving, decision–making, wellness, basic academic skills, study skills, and communication. Students learn to manage their time and their budgets. They will establish strong foundations in ethics and relations with people at home, at school, and at work. The text is both affirming and challenging to students, encouraging them to reach new heights.
This centerpoint of academic, career success, and life success is emphasized throughout this book in each chapter, in end-of-chapter exercises and in a separate chapter. The learn-by-doing approach involves readers in discovering their abilities first-hand. The work puts skills in the context of work and life situations, helping readers see how their work in school will serve them both in class and later on the job and in their personal lives. DIVERSITY is a thread that unites all the topics of the book. In addition to chapter 8's astute and sensitive discussion of diversity, diverse needs are treated in the context of every possible topic (for example, time management - juggling part-time work and/or family with school, note-taking - different learning styles take different kinds of notes).— End of chapter EXERCISES reinforce four major skills: THINKING, TEAMWORK, WRITING, and STRATEGIC THINKING/PLANNING. College students of all ages.
