While in college it is very hard to find a textbook that can actually help someone make more time to party or just relax. On Course (fourth addition), is the textbook that can help a college student do both.
The key to this textbook’s appeal is the small length, tight focus, and importance on self-development that is written in a positive, motivational approach rather than just a boring textbook you’re required to buy for a class.
On Course empowers college students with skills they need to take charge of their success in school and in life.
The unique information in the textbook helps students develop essential life skills by encouraging exploration of their personal interdependence, self-worth, accountability and self-motivation.
The widespread coverage of study skills of: reading, note taking, memorizing, and test taking provided in the "Wise Choices in College" section helps students pass not only their courses, but allows them to have more free time to do whatever their heart desires by following those skills.
Within the textbook lies a treasure of information that can lead a college student to graduation without the agony and time it typically takes others.
•The "Choices of Successful Students" chart on the inside front cover shows eight key choices that successful students make in determining their own success.
•"Case Study in Critical Thinking," in the beginning of every chapter, includes topics such as procrastination and team work and encourages students to think seriously and artistically.
•"Wise Choices in College," an end of chapter study skills element, covers reading, note taking, studying, memorizing, test taking, writing, and researching.
•"On Course Principles at Work" shows how important the success strategies are for choosing the right career, getting hired and succeeding in the work world all while in college.
•"One Student's Story" student essays provide insight on which strategies worked for them and how they applied these skills to their life.
This textbook also has a useful internet website that interacts with what a reader is learning during each chapter and beyond with dicussion groups, technology exercises along with multiple assessments. The website allows the student success expand in time through time management, note-taking, reducing test anxiety, health and wellness, and decision-making.
