Description
This book is designed to build the confidence of adult learners and to present strategies for basic skills such as classroom learning, studying, reading, note-taking, time management and test taking. Rather than saying, "here's how you did it in high school, and here's how you do it now", the focus is: "here are your assumptions about what you think you need to do to succeed...here's what you really need to be concerned about...and here's what to do to deal with academic and personal adjustments on your life".
