For Study Skills and Critical Thinking courses. Study and Critical Thinking Skills in College, Eighth Edition is ideal for instructors who want to teach study and learning techniques. McWhorter discusses the active strategies that develop students' proficiency with text and lecture material--emphasising the cognitive approach to learning, the basis for how to apply study skills to academic disciplines, and how to identify early warning signs of academic difficulty. At the same time, she stresses that students must adapt how they read and how they study to suit the characteristics of each unique academic discipline. This text aligns closely with the ways students read, study, learn, think, and network in the twenty-first century. While printed textbooks and other reading materials remain core learning resources, students increasingly read, study, collaborate, and take tests online. Study and Critical Thinking Skills in College encourages students to study and think in ways that match their learning styles and to use technologies (such as online databases and social media) that maximise their productivity.

Finally, a college prep book that actually prepares students for college! Almost all first-year college students discover that college courses are more academically challenging than they expected, and certainly harder than classes in high school. Professors expect students not just to absorb material, but to analyze and synthesize it, consider multiple perspectives, evaluate conflicting evidence, and then apply what they’ve learned in new contexts. Thinking Critically in College explains how to do all this and more. Louis E. Newman draws on decades of experience as a professor at Carleton College and Dean of Academic Advising and Associate Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education at Stanford, offering the guidance you need to succeed both in college and in life post-graduation. Unique among college prep books, Thinking Critically in College builds on the latest research in learning, spells out the key critical thinking skills you need, shows you how to tackle actual college assignments, and provides exercises throughout to reinforce the lessons. Written in a personal, engaging style, Thinking Critically in College explains how to do the work your professors will require—exactly the preparation you need, no matter what your academic background. Practical, accessible, comprehensive, and interactive, Thinking Critically in College is the definitive guide, not only for those in college or headed there, but for everyone who needs a refresher on thinking clearly.
