Synopsis
Authored by John Santrock, a prominent developmental psychologist and Jane Halonen, a leader in critical thinking, this text/ CD-ROM package will appeal to instructors of College Success courses who want to emphasize active learning strategies and student self-awareness in pursuit of college success goals. Innovative yet pedagogically sound, it integrates the advantages of both print and CD-ROM technology to address course topics from the standpoint of the individual student. The text also includes in-depth coverage of critical campus issues such as gender, diversity, and values. The second edition has been substantially revised with new, integrated themes, based on what instructors at several institutions said they wanted in a book. The authors have reorganized and reduced the number of chapters to place a much stronger emphasis on active strategies. A new chapter devoted entirely to managing time effectively, expanded and improved coverage of learning styles, earlier treatment of values and career exploration, new and improved learning and study aids, a dynamic new design and layout, and a line-by-line revision of the existing material.
