Binding: PaperbackDewey Decimal Number: 371.3028 EAN: 9781571290465 ISBN: 157129046X Label: Brookline Books/Lumen Editions Manufacturer: Brookline Books/Lumen Editions Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 145 Publication Date: December 25, 1997 Publisher: Brookline Books/Lumen Editions Studio: Brookline Books/Lumen Editions Editorial Review: Product Description: For students to succeed, intelligence and motivation are not enough; students also need to understand and become aware of what they do while studying and how they can improve their study skills. This manual helps them understand the elements of study skills, presented under three task groupings: input (learning what to do to learn materials more effectively); processing their learning so it becomes part of his understanding; and output tasks so they can produce evidence of their knowledge and understanding on tests, and in papers and oral presentations. Key skills covered include: listening note taking concentration summarizing reading comprehension memorization test taking preparing papers and reports time management and more! These abilities are vital to success throughout every stage of learning; the benefits will last a lifetime. These skills have been taught successfully to students from fifth grade through medical school. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - How to Get A+ GradesThis book is invaluable! As a returning adult student (grad school) this book provides the ultimate road map for getting A+ grades. As a star student (h.s. valedictorian) I know a lot about getting the top grade in every class - this book provided me with tips I've never read anywhere else, and I've read a few books on this topic. I recently used a few of these new study ideas in 2 econ classes at jr college (review before grad school) and I received A+ grades in both classes - exactly what I ... Read More Rating: - A great refresher!I suggest this read to anyone who is serious about stuyding and wants to earn A's. Although it's a lot of work if you follow the book's suggestions I can't see how anyone could not get great grades! Rating:  - Study Power? Sudy Skills to Improve Your Learning and Your GradesThe content and writing style of this book are more appropriate to the high school or college student. The book probably would not motivate a younger reader...too serious and too general. Rating:  - Not worth the time!This book is rather brief. This book is like a brief assortment of topics. It didn't help me much. For time management (which possibly is the greatest skill that any student must master), the authors just mention very briefly. Rating: - Similar to the book, SURVEY OF 300 A+ STUDENTSThis book is similar to the book, SURVEY OF 300 A+ STUDENTS: A+ STUDENTS DESCRIBE THEIR ACADEMIC STRATEGIES, by Kenneth Green (from Harvard). However, I think that Kenneth Green's book is more comprehensive and gives the information in a chronological order, which makes it a smoother read. |
