Study Skills

My son appreciated this book. In his senor year of college and he found it helpful.

No Regrets!

This book really helped me get a great start in college. For anyone who has questions as to what to expect when you get to college, this is the book for you.

Excellent trad study book

Many of the exercises in the book include excerpts from college level reading materials that enable the learner to practise the taught skills with material equivalent to what they can expect to find in their studies. In fact, it's the heavy inclusion of the exercises which elevates this book above your standard "learn to learn" guide - the presented skill is immediately put to use! I found this to be immeasurably useful when learning the techniques. The sections on Time Management, Text Book Reading, and Note Taking were all well presented in an easy to understand format. The book is well worth the money. Five stars out of five.
