N1  - Includes bibliographical references and index; Welcome to college: opening doors -- Values, goals, time, and stress: managing yourself -- Diversity matters: learning styles and communication -- Critical and creative thinking: solving problems and making decisions -- Reading and studying: focusing on content -- Listening and memory: taking in and remembering information -- Taking notes: recording concepts and information -- Test taking: showing what you know -- Quantitative learning: becoming comfortable with math and science -- Effective writing: communicating your message -- Creating your life: building a successful future
N2  - The text helps students build habits for success and develop the thinking, self-management, and study skills they need to succeed academically, and has been streamlined to focus more on essential study skills, with greater coverage of memory, studying, reading, and test-taking. It retains its acclaimed simple-to-use Critical and Creative Thinking coverage, and adds relevance by addressing the two greatest barriers to staying in school—time and money management. Understanding how you think is key; this revision promotes students’ self-awareness, and offers a pre- and post-course assessment. The Habits for Success theme is more integrated and practical to ensure students develop the tools needed to increase their preparedness, confidence, and commitment to learning.
