Résumé analytique : "On Course is intended for college students of any age who want to create success in college and in life. Whether students are taking a student success or first-year seminar course, a writing course, or an "inward-looking" course in psychology, self-exploration, or personal growth, On Course is an instruction manual for dramatically improving the quality of their outcomes and experiences. In each chapter, students learn essential study skills; however, that's just the beginning. Through self-assessments, articles, guided journals, case studies in critical thinking, and inspiring stories from fellow students, On Course empowers students with time-proven strategies for creating a great life - academic, personal, and professional. Students learn the techniques that have helped many thousands of students create extraordinary success! I am grateful that in the years since its first publication in 1996, On Course has become a market leader in the crowded field of student success texts. Increasingly, educators are finding (as I have) that empowering students to become active, responsible learners produces significant increases in both student academic success and retention. In addition, the process empowers them to create great things in their personal and professional lives. My goal is to make this new edition of On Course even more helpful to the success of students and educators alike" (Preface). Portée et contenu : 1.
