Active Learning is designed for use in study skills or strategies

dealing with professors, active learning strategies, test taking
strategies, and rehearsal strategies. This book takes a hands-on
approach to learning new strategies for academic success. Each
chapter contains a Research into Practice section, which translates
studying and learning research into solid practices. Scenarios in

and asks them to recognize and solve study problems. Readers have
ample opportunity for self-evaluation, critical thinking, and
practice. For anyone wishing to improve study skills.
