Publisher's Notes

Using an active learning approach, College Study integrates three interrelated elements of how students learn—their behaviors, attitudes (including motivation), and learning styles. The reader chooses, assesses, and applies strategies, with the goal of creating a personal system of study.

This text presents learning strategies within the context of the growing expectations and responsibilities of students at the college level and includes:

An emphasis on self-directed learning
Problem-centered content
Focus on immediate transfer of skills
Personal experiences that are valued and are used as a basis for learning

The text includes an appendix that links results of the Learning and Study Strategies Inventory (LASSI) with text chapter topics and features.
