This is the eBook of the printed book and may not include any

For First Year Experience, Student
Success, and Introduction to College courses for students attending
four year programs.
Keys to College Success sets the
standard for connecting academic success to success beyond school,
showing students how to apply strategies within college, career,
and life. This Eight edition retains Keys tried-and-true
emphasis on thinking skills and problem-solving, re-imagined with
two goals in mind: One, a risk and reward framework that
reflects the demands today's students face, and two, a focus on
student experience specific to four-year schools with a more
extensive research base and increased
metacognition.  
Keys to College Success helps
students take ownership, develop academic and transferable skills,
and show the results of commitment and action so they are well
equipped with the concentration, commitment, focus, and persistence
necessary to succeed. MyStudentSuccessLab (www.mystudentsuccesslab.com)
helps students to 'Start strong, Finish stronger' by acquiring the
skills they need to succeed for ongoing personal and
professional development.

achievement, and analytical, creative, and practical thinking
coverage that empowers a range of cognitive ability. This program

they need through peer-led video interviews, interactive practice

college investment pay off in gainful employment, meaningful work,
and community involvement.

change and instability and hones in on student concerns about
employability skills and debt management so the four-year college
experience is framed in practical, work-relevant ways even as it
supports the value of a liberal education. New coverage of
