Master Student Guide to Academic Success
This text would be ideal for the large population of nontraditional adult students we are currently seeing enroll. These students need a great resource to help them brush up on their academic skills."I would recommend this to new students and current students in academic difficulty as a good book to sue to enhance your academic skills and promote personal success."Its value in comparison to a traditional textbook would be in the time it saves. I see it as a handy reference book students could use throughout their college career...not just as freshmen."I feel the writing style is one that talks to the students and not at them. It is written in a tone and voice that is not too preachy yet is realistic and easily understandable without being too simple. The many examples in each chapter are very good...the examples are a major strength."[Before the Master Student Guide I had] not yet found a satisfactory textbook to support the methods and topics that I teach in class.... [In my learning community, the Master Student Guide] might be the type of book that could bridge the gap that I have been the textbook material and my instruction in the class.  Also, it would obviously serve as a useful student reference outside of class and for students to use when need for their other classes in support of the appropriate study topic.
