Inhaltsangabe

The fifth edition of FOCUS ON COLLEGE SUCCESS recognizes the varied experiences of today's students and guides them to be more mindful, motivated, productive, and focused. The text's research-based approach builds a solid foundation, helping students to see the relevance of this course. Increased attention is given to diversity, mindfulness, resilience, grit, financial literacy, technology, and productivity, college-related "life hacks," alternative presentation e-tools, and the newest strategies in career planning. Many students today are distracted, over-optionalized, and over-obligated. FOCUS ON COLLEGE SUCCESS addresses these issues head-on, creating teachable moments - and concrete results - in every face-to-face or online learning experience. New for 2021: Empower your students to connect the dots between what they're learning now and their current or future careers with "How Transferable Are Your Skills?" - a new MindTap activity that challenges students to identify how their personal and academic experiences can help them become career-ready.
