Keys to College Studying: Becoming an Active Thinker (2nd Edition)
“Keys to College Studying provides useful tips for being a better thinker and excellent activities to practice techniques.  I especially like the activity requiring the student to build a solution to a problem and then deconstruct it.   All chapters are infinitely more thorough than those in Pauk’s Essential Study Strategies and more connected to each other by means of the active thinking theme… This book is more of a ‘thinking student’s’ take on study skills; it has a definite body of knowledge that is clearly based on research… The text actually explains in great connected details WHY students should make changes in the way they operate and encourages them to choose their own path after arming themselves with knowledge… This text is clearly superior to the Pauk text.”   -- Victoria Haydock at the University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh “The systematic approach taken inKeys to College Studyingseems more useful because it employs a building block approach.  It provides excellent step-by-step practical exercises within each chapter.” -- John Horn at Acquinas College in Nashville
