INTERGRATING COLLEGE 

 

 

STUDY SKILLS

 

By Peter Elias Sotiriou

 

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

In the second edition of Integrating College Study Skills, I have
at­tempted to refine what has proven to be a successful study skills
text. First and foremost, many users have asked for more exercises
using textbook material, so I have included a textbook exercise at the
end of the exercises in Chapters 3—8. I have also extensively revised
the exercises on making inferences in Chapter 6, on paraphrasing in
Chapter 8, as well as the exercises on condensing and using
abbrevia­tions in Chapter 10, in order to give students a better
context in which to answer these questions. And in those exercises
that I have kept from the first edition, I have updated and changed
about 30 percent of the material. Finally, you will find two new study
reading selections at the end of the book.

 

I have also revised all of the introductions—including updated
research in study skills, language instruction, and cognitive
psychol­ogy. In addition, I have condensed wherever I could; you will
find that the introductions are shorter and more concise. I hope this
change will make the introductions easier for students to read and
easier for instructors to teach from.

 

What I have kept from the first edition is the text’s careful
se­quencing and its challenging, college-level material. I still find
the sequence of chapters from “Locating the Main Idea” to “Applying
SQ3R to Textbooks” to be a sound pedagogy. Also, I have retained the
sequenced progression of exercises in each chapter, so that each
exercise is more challenging than the previous one. Finally, I
continue to use in my exercises and examples topics that incoming
college students will find in their courses—issues from the
humanities, social sciences, and sciences.

 

I hope that this second edition will even more effectively accom­plish
what I set out to do in the first edition: to make students better
readers, listeners, and writers of college material and to make them
aware of how reading, listening, and writing use similar thinking
skills.
