Essential Study Skills

Appropriate for a range of students, including adult learners, those with learning disabilities, and others considered at risk, Essential Study Skills follows a step-by-step approach that can be adapted to any learning style. Instructors may use the text to guide students at a slower pace, or encourage more independent readers to set their own. The emphasis remains on classroom discussion, application, and critical thinking, and now includes more examples of visual mapping and photographs that help students connect to the material. Reflection Writing Assignments help instructors understand students' skill levels and their ability to apply chapter concepts to personal and study habits, and also promote critical thinking and utilization of strategies and concepts in a cumulative assignment. Collaborative Learning Activities in each chapter provide small group exercises that enhance student interest and promote critical thinking. Icons appear throughout the text to highlight Web Activities, including interactive practice tests and exercises that can be scored online or emailed to instructors.Wong, Linda (Linda Wong) is the author of 'Essential Study Skills', published 2002 under ISBN 9780618242078 and ISBN 0618242074.
