Keys to Success - How to Achieve Your Goals (3rd, 01) by Carter, Carol - Bishop, Joyce - Kravits, Sarah Lyman

• This interactive text emphasizes thinking and learning by connecting college success skills to career and life skills:
• The text focuses on clear, competent thinking skills, including critical, creative and strategic thinking. This centrepoint of academic, career, and life success is emphasized in end-of-chapter exercises and in a separate chapter.
• Students from many backgrounds share their views on issues as diverse as staying out of debt to balancing competing priorities-like working, raising a family and going to school.
• End-of-chapter exercises reinforce four major skills: thinking, teamwork, writing and strategic thinking/planning. The learn-by-doing approach helps students discover their abilities first-hand.
