Keys to College Studying I needed this book for school and even though I got the book used it was in wonderful, like new shape. Thank you for your service. I will be ordering more often.
Very helpful and user-friendly Very helpful and user-friendly; writing style flows well, exercises are well instructed. I'm glad my instructor chose this book.
All students should read this book! Very informative. Great excercises and current ideas and suggestions. Many ways of acclimating yourself to your studies are common sense.
Using the book as the Professor I teach a class called "Skills For Professional Development." I use this book for this class because it contains all the key elements not only for studying purposes, but also because it discusses, in length, important topics such as time management, family support, and plagarism issues. While parts of the book may seem like simple common sense, for older students just now returning to college, they are helpful reminders to get them back into the swing of things. Great book used for this particular class.
Good Product, missing attached brochure Overall the product is excellent, not only for in-class study, but as a good guide as well. Other class mates, including the professor too, indicate that when buying "Keys to College Studying", make sure it contains the "RESEARCH NAVIGATOR", which is an attachment brochure that has to come with the book. Unfortunately in my case there was no "Research Navigator" included, but finally it is kind of OK. THANK YOU
