Recommendation

This well-structured, comprehensive guide to college success belongs on the desk of every aspiring student. Though study skills consultant Chloe Burroughs aims her treatise at mature students and distance learners, her book also appeals to those taking a traditional path to further education. Burroughs offers guidance not on what to learn but on how to learn. Most institutes of higher education take such skills for granted, but students who lack those competencies frequently flounder. Anyone starting a college course will thank themselves for first consulting this road map. 

Take-Aways

  • In grade school, you received extensive guidance and instruction, but college demands independent learning.
  • Prepare for college by putting in some simple groundwork.
  • Set specific goals against which you can measure your progress.
