This text is written in a streamlined format; with an informal, personal writing style; and engaging activities that maintain the reader's attention and appeal to today's college students. MARKET: For readers' use in a variety of contexts: A one- or two-credit study skills or learning strategies course, a skills course linked or paired with content-area course work, introductory-level content course using a supplemental learning strategies text, a first-year orientation program or seminar, a series of workshops for first-year or students on academic probation, or a tutor or peer educator training course requiring a learning strategies text.
