Study Skills in Practice (a college textbook) combines the straightforward instruction of a textbook with the comfortable accessibility of a workbook. It provides all the practice college students need to develop their own strategies for independent learning. The approach is down-to-earth and supportive, with step-by-step instruction in each skill--from problem -solving and time management to reading and study strategies and exam preparation. Exercises reinforce each new idea. Study Group suggestions in each chapter encourage students to collaborate with their classmates in a systematic way to promote more effective learning techniques among themselves. A Summary Form at the end of each chapter helps students condense what they have just learned into a form than can be used effectively in other courses. 384 pages, paperback. Published by Houghton Mifflin, 1993.
