A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

"Practicing College Learning Strategies" presents practical applications of study skills in a clear and concise, workbook style format. The text is known for providing ample exercises throughout each chapter, reflecting the author's belief that students can be taught how to learn more effectively through hands-on reinforcement. Now produced in 2-colour, the Fourth Edition has a sleek design and is organised around a new learning strategies framework that includes chapter opening objectives to preview the materials students are about to learn. The text focuses on essential study skills necessary for "learning how to learn;" Hopper presents the latest research on the brain, helping students to understand how they learn, how to capitalise on their strengths and how to adjust for their weaknesses. Structured activities and exercises guide students in the reflection process to make the information personal and useful and to provide practice opportunities. The straightforward brief explanations and structured activities modelling the learning process make this text especially useful for first time college students or returning adults. Instructors of basic and/or short study skills courses will appreciate the clear and concise, workbook style format and selectivity of text content, making it manageable to teach.
