Following up on her acclaimed Teach Students How to Learn, that describes teaching strategies to facilitate dramatic improvements in student learning and success, Saundra McGuire here presents these "secrets" direct to students.
Beginning with explaining how expectations about learning, and the study efforts required, differ between college and secondary school, the author introduces her listeners, through the concept of metacognition, to the importance and powerful consequences of understanding themselves as learners. This framework and the recommended strategies that support it are useful for anyone moving on to a more advanced stage of education.
In a conversational tone, and liberally illustrated by anecdotes of past students, the author combines introducing listeners to concepts like Bloom's Taxonomy, fixed and growth mindsets, as well as what brain science has to tell us about rest, nutrition, and exercise, together with such highly specific learning strategies as how to read a textbook, manage their time, and take tests.
With engaging exercises and thought-provoking reflections, this book is an ideal motivational and practical text for study skills and first year experience courses.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Great read

great learning strategies I never knew. I'm 45 and finally feel ready to finish degree and pursue a career I'll actually enjoy.

In my opinion however, some parts of this book could really just be cut for time. Like the author just includes so many stories about her students, and that’s good and all, but I believe you that they work, you don’t gotta go into a whole story about it.
I also think a couple chapters could’ve been cut too. The middle couple chapters are the longest and easily the most important/helpful, but the first and last couple chapters just don’t really seem to matter as much, and are really just kinda there.
Overall I would recommend this book to someone who needs help academically, but it’s not a perfect book by any means
Great tips, with some filler

Good read

I will be using the information provided for myself, my children & to hopefully help my students. But it also reinforces how I need to present & teach my courses. (Less power points & more interactive lessons & pre-class work).
If you are unsure about which self-help book to buy, I highly suggest this one. the information is condensed into a short book with the key points & activities to make it make sense. Allowing you to quickly learn and implement the learning techniques and improve your ability to learn material & improve your grades!!
Happy learning!
