Synopsis

Based on the belief that students learn more effectively through hands-on reinforcement, Practicing College Learning Strategies stresses the critical-thinking, note-taking, and test-taking skills needed for successful completion of the first semester of college and beyond. Class discussion is complemented by a concise presentation of materials and practice, including hands-on activities to enhance the learning strategies presented.

• Brain Bytes throughout the text show students how memory strategies work and provide tools to maximize retention, to improve job performance, school achievement, and personal success.
• What's Your Advice? exercises at the end of every chapter ask students to synthesize and evaluate what they learn in the form of advice to others.
