Review:

"This is an author that you cannot stop reading ― he makes you want to invite him over for a cup of coffee and discuss the lives and plans of our most precious future ― our students. He has the most interesting way of writing about academic and personal challenges while suggesting hopeful and positive solutions."

--Elizabeth Huggins, Augusta State University

"It is a thoughtful, well-crafted book that simply describes common problems students have and offers some common-sense solutions."

--Dr. Cari Kenner, St. Cloud State University

"Respectful. Piscitelli described social and learning dynamics as if discussing them with a colleague. This makes his writing style respectful and approachable in that he never seems condescending or critical. He explains to readers several phenomena that impact learning outcomes and provides self-reflective activities for the interested reader...and many will be because of this approach."

--Chad Luke, Tennessee Tech University

"Piscitelli approaches study skills with enthusiasm and a genuine desire to help students build effective study techniques."

--Brenda Marks, Ed. D., Clackamas Community College
