Student Success Secrets (STUDENT SUCCESS SECRETS)

Summary: A Teacher's Perspective
Review: I first came across Student Success Secrets when I borrowed it from one of my students. He was using it to try to build his study skills and recommended it. That was about ten years ago, and I have since recommended it to many others. I came to Amazon today to send it as a gift to a student I know who is trying to get better. (and to get a new copy myself.)

This book works because it addresses more than just the skills. It addresses motivation and our image of ourselves. As a rowing coach and a teacher, I know how important both those things are. It is important to have an image of yourself doing it right. The writing is also direct and clear, with good examples. It moves quickly. And the skills and suggestions it makes work. I found myself applying the same principles in other situations.

The text is easy to read, and the pictures put a funny outlook on the text. The ideas given are fantastic and make you think, too. The writing section gives a fresh outlook on how to write.
