Learning Skills for College and Career - Softcover
This practical book--the result of more than 20 years of observing, teaching, advising, and listening to students--teaches readers to make "smart" decisions and shows how to acquire the information, skills, and attitudes essential for learning how to learn. The author shows readers how to transfer skills from the real world of college to the real world of work, so they'll be better prepared to face the challenges that await them. Recognizing that learning is more permanent when we try to understand (rather than memorize) and apply (rather than passively store) the ideas and information we encounter, Hettich offers a wealth of exercises and examples that help readers become aware of what they are thinking, feeling, and doing so they can "take charge" and accept responsibility for their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
