Practicing College Learning Strategies

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.Hopper, Carolyn H. is the author of 'Practicing College Learning Strategies', published 2004 under ISBN 9780618333509 and ISBN 0618333509.
