内容説明
Emphasizing critical thinking, College Reading and Study Skills approaches reading and study skills as active learning processes.
Students analyze their learning style and then apply what they have learned with new "Learning Experiments" and "Learning Principles" exercises. A new section of thematically organized readings in Part 7 offers practice with both textbook and non-textbook excerpts as well as web reading. A new Chapter 9, "Reading Electronic Sources," presents strategies for reading and evaluating electronic sources. New "SuccessWorkshops" offer practical tips on how to succeed in college.
