More Description
For courses in Study Skills, Student Success, Freshman Seminar, or "University 101."
Fosters self-directed skills and habits for success that students need
Challenged by technological, academic, financial, and interpersonal issues, students need the habits of success--persistence, planning, questioning, connecting, coaching--for their professional and personal future. Keys to Effective Learning nurtures these skills in students entering college, particularly those who are under-prepared or need remediation, by focusing on building accountability, teamwork, and critical/creative thinking skills that can be applied to any academic or workplace setting.
In each chapter, Habits for Success promote problem solving and boost success. Each chapter also includes a unique and inspiring story that shows how a real person used the Habit discussed to meet a challenge and achieve a goal. All features and exercises now infuse coaching on non-cognitive skills such as initiative, motivation, and goal setting to support self-management. Academic coaching language and powerful questions throughout reinforce the application of the skills presented.
