ReviewsOn Course Study Skills Plus Edition gets at the heart of what I think is important for students. They need to understand that they are in control and until they understand that, all the study skills and lectures in the world won't help them. And every semester I learn a little more about myself!, On Course: Study Skills Plus Edition is a great textbook that seems to really get students thinking, which is a huge part of what college is all about. I'm sure that On Course: Study Skills Plus Edition can be improved, but it has been a great asset for teaching my student population. Thanks goes to Dr. Downing, for writing such wonderful book!

SynopsisON COURSE: STRATEGIES FOR CREATING SUCCESS IN COLLEGE AND IN LIFE, STUDY SKILLS PLUS EDITION was created for educators who would like to promote student growth and self-awareness, while providing more extensive instruction in study skills. Downing's powerful guided journal entries have been retained from the original ON COURSE text to encourage students to explore essential life skills such as personal responsibility, self-motivation, interdependence, and self-esteem. The Study Skills Plus Edition engages students in a learner-centered construction of study skills knowledge, and gives students practice in applying empowerment strategies. The 2nd edition highlights the very process of learning how to solve academic challenges with improved study skills. Students engage in critical and creative problem solving that will enable them to achieve greater success in all parts of their lives. The 2nd edition also features expanded coverage of diversity, emphasizing the many ways in which people are different and how these differences often influence the choices they make. Other new topics include a discussion of academic integrity, how to thrive in the college culture, and a research-based section on the importance of developing a growth mindset. Plus, a new Annotated Instructors Edition guides instructors to relevant exercises and materials in the ON COURSE FACILITATOR'S MANUAL.

On Course, can help keep your life on course.
Awesome book, great information that anyone can use to be successful in their life. I am buying multiple copies to use in teaching / facilitating a group coaching class on success and self-acceptance. There is a wide spectrum of strategies for success, from changing your thinking, embracing failure, to developing a scheduling system so importent actions are taken.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
