Book excerpt: Unlike any other student success textbook on the market, the Master Student Guide to Academic Success is an alternative to the traditional workbook-style text. Designed specifically for motivated students—such as adult learners and students in learning communities—this tabbed, quick reference guide, provides instructors with a flexible text that adapts easily to a variety of course formats and teaching styles. Students benefit from the comprehensive coverage of core study skills and learning strategies presented in a straightforward, accessible manner. Organizational features such as tabs, an index of key concepts, and succinct chapters clearly identify main topics and make it easy for students to pinpoint specific information. With tools and strategies that benefit students throughout the college experience, the Master Student Guide to Academic Success is an ideal resource for any student. A tabbed format provides students with a quick reference to key concepts. Checklists in each chapter offer a place to interact with the text and to practice new concepts. Some checklist topics include: Discover How Much You Pay to Attend a Class, Ten Ways to Evaluate Evidence, and Characteristics of an Effective Goal Statement. Sidebars and Examples throughout the text give students further ways to apply new skills to college and life. Examples include: Ways to Set Priorities, Ways to Evaluate Your Notes, and Reduce Fear of Public Speaking. The Ways to Apply and Experiment with These Ideas feature encourages students to apply skills from each chapter in other courses. A Frequently Asked Questions section inside the front cover uses actual questions from first year students and references the answers in the text.
