Maintaining the key features and core topics of the original Becoming a Master Student, but in half the size, THE ESSENTIAL GUIDE TO BECOMING A MASTER STUDENT, 5th Edition, is ideal for shorter orientation courses and first-year experience programs. Students put new ideas into action immediately, discover their abilities, and reach their full potential in the classroom and beyond. Numerous active learning tools help students create a foundation from which to build solid strategies for academic growth. An emphasis on Master Student Qualities encourages students to strive to develop the attitudes and behaviors of successful people, and new features provide actions they can take to make a positive change or implement a new skill in just one minute. And, with this edition, Cengage's MindTap course brings all of these assets to one place with an integrated technology solution. New for 2021: Empower your students to connect the dots between what they’re learning now and their current or future careers with “How Transferable Are Your Skills?” – a new MindTap activity that challenges students to identify how their personal and academic experiences can help them become career-ready.
