The authors of Effective College Learning do more than prepare readers for academic success: They prepare them for lifelong learning. Effective College Learning was built from the ground up to reflect contemporary research about learning theory. Readers not only learnhow we learn, but why we learn, and they're shown how to be active in their learning. The innovative design of Effective College Learning keeps the reader engaged through the generous use of visuals and a "chunked" design that makes locating key information easy.
