30 Amazing Reading and Learning Strategies for College Students
The “30 Amazing Reading and Learning Strategies for College Students” is an amazing book! It is written for the college student who wants to enjoy learning and who wants to begin earning better grades. Do you study by doing the same thing such as memorizing and rereading the textbook over and over and then forgetting the information a few days later? Do you often complain how studying can be boring? Do your grades reflect the time and effort you spend studying? The “30 Amazing Reading and Learning Strategies for College Students helps students learn the material for their college subject courses in efficient ways. The “easy to learn” strategies require no extra time, materials, work, or instruction. Students are actively involved and they can easily monitor their own learning. The authors have cleverly designed a GPS (Getting the Perfect Strategy), which helps students fit the assignment or task with the “perfect” strategy. Each of the thirty strategies plus eight bonus strategies instructs students with easy to follow directions. The eight bonus strategies are specific for those courses that give students the must trouble: Mathematics and English composition! Upon completion of an assignment using the strategy, the result is a finished product which can be used (if desired) for grading. Most of the strategies are “original” (you won’t find them anywhere else)” although we included some which have been around awhile!
