Keys to Success: Building Analytical, Creative, and Practical Skills (7th Edition)
“A case study provides an impersonal (thus safer) and specific (thus meaningful) way to discuss student issues.  These were realistic without being corny, so students can relate.” —Shawn Bixler, The University of Akron “I absolutely feel that the text’s “Successful Intelligence” emphasis would be and is beneficial for students.  I teach mostly non-traditional students and for the most part when they were in high school they would’ve never imagined that they would be sitting in a college classroom.  Most of them were probably told that they weren’t “college material” or that they had a lot of “potential” but that they weren’t good “test takers”.  I believe that when they hear that it takes more than “book smarts” to be successful at college and in life it will mean a lot and will go a long way in boosting their confidence so that they can and will become successful students.”—Julia Brown, M.Ed., LPC, South Plains College “I believe the career focus is an excellent approach.  I believe the more effectively freshmen get this in their first year, the better they will be able to understand the important relationship between their course work and the work they will do in their careers” —Julie Stein, California State University, East Bay
