Study Skills - Do I Really Need This Stuff? (2nd Edition)
What am I doing to get what I want?
If students can ask and answer this question they will be on the path to academic success.  The 2nd edition of Study Skills: Do I Really Need This Stuff?  makes potentially difficult and dry subject matter come alive by integrating two critical themes for academic and life success : critical thinking and personal choice.  More than 120 reflective activities allow students to practice each study skill using specific standards of critical thinking . The second theme, that of personal choice , reinforces that responsible decision making and follow-through put potential and ambition into action.  Ambition is the desire ; potential is the ability ; initiative is  the doing .  Effective study skills will empower students to do what is needed to master their course requirements and this book will provide the necessary tools!

Rhythms of College Success: A Journey of Discovery, Change, and Mastery
Building on Steve Piscitelli's classroom experiences and workshops, his new book Rhythms of College Success: A Journey of Discovery, Change, and Mastery focuses on the whole student - both internally and externally.  It embraces the power of personal choice and addresses the (sometimes) competing needs of first-year students. Using a universal theme of music, the book offers memorable messages that show how respect, responsibility, reflection, and renewal can fuel student success. Throughout the text, readers are introduced to the 4Rs and how these, along with change and life balance, impact one's future and one's success. More than 100 activities, 75 figures and innovative part openers keep students engaged and help them on their own journey of discovery, change and mastery.
