ORIENTATION TO COLLEGE LEARNING, THIRD EDITION, provides students with a solid foundation of learning skills and strategies that will help them succeed in college. This is the brief, non-workbook version of Van Blerkom's well-regarded COLLEGE STUDY SKILLS. The text is extensively class-tested, exhibiting the author's wide teaching experience and real understanding of students' needs. No other book does a better job of building on the student's previous school years of studying and prepares them for college courses that are more difficult, more intensive, and faster paced. By practicing learning strategies in real course material, like psychology, history, biology, sociology, students learn to modify and adapt the strategies to the lectures, texts, exams, and assignments for their other courses.
