The College Learner: How to Survive and Thrive in an Academic Environment

From the Publisher Written from a unique new perspective -- based on recent insights from the field of cognitive psychology and reading research -- this text focuses on the specific needs of academically at-risk college freshman who need support in improving their reading and study skills.
