Product Description:
Becoming a Master Student consistently gives students a framework for examining their lives from a self-discovery perspective, and the Tenth Edition continues this student-created, value-based approach to life and learning. The relevant articles, strategies, and exercises throughout the text help students understand their own strengths and weaknesses, set goals, and practice academic and life skills. Students are inspired and motivated to acquire and develop the skills needed for sucess in college and throughout life.
The Course Manual for instructors offers detailed support for each topic in the text and is tied to the HM ClassPrep CD-ROM, which provides text-specific tools, such as teaching tips, exercises, quizzes, and chapter-related web links.
- Student Voices features in every chapter connect former students with current ones, showing how the skills within the text can be applied to real life.
- Workplace Applications exercises help students learn how to apply their academic time management skills in their future careers.
- Parts of chapters 9 and 10 have been combined into a succinct chapter on effective communication through writing and speaking.
- A new chapter on effective financial strategies and resources includes an article offering suggestions on paying off student loans and preventing credit card debt.
- Updated coverage includes new web links and web related exercises; specific strategies for improving reading speed, comprehension, and retention; articles and exercises on diversity; and more strategies for avoiding procrastination.
- Updated Master Student Profiles include Greg Louganis, Student Sucess scholarship winner Suny Urrutia Moore, and Isabel Allende.
- Improved coverage of learning styles includes updated explanations and terminology in the Learning Style Inventory feature.

Becoming A Master Student should be used for a late-middle to early high school course in study skills. It has been helpful for me but I plan on using it for my middle schoolers subsequent since those skills would really be helpful to have prior to beginning the college experience (especially the graduate school experience but this is my own fault!)

however, if you want detail management of your life, this book is for you.

Anyone who is considering or currently attending massage therapy school cannot help but benefit from ordering this text and the accompanying CD. The CD is an excellent tool in prepping the student for examinations. Even if you had no medical science background this resource will educate you. Because my husband is visually impaired, the classroom instruction was inadequate. The CD included made the difference in his success. Not only did he pass all of his tests, he passed with exceptionally high grades.

The book encourages students to explore their own strengths and weaknesses, and prompts them to recognize aspects of themselves in ways they probably hadn't thought before. Most of us are quite curious about what our strengths might be, and with this book, the student's self-examination isn't a painful process. Rather than offering a step by step list of Do's and Don'ts, the approach taken here is to help the student develop a highly individualized action plan to help them take control managing their coursework. It's a relatively hefty book, at least compared to others I've seen in this genre, but this doesn't detract.

This book is really helpful for those who have had difficulty with studying and time management. It also helps highlight some of those "everything I need to know, I really did learn in Kindergarten" moments. Often I don't keep textbooks, because I know I'll never use most of them again. This book is exactly the opposite, in that I know I will use it again, be it with relationship conflicts, time management, a reminder to detach from my identities, or anything else. There is such a wealth of helpful information, that I fail to understand the ranting low reviews. Apparently some people have nothing better to do with their time than bitch. Pity, really.
