With greater development of study skills and time management strategies, students will have an opportunity to improve on completion and retention rates.

This textbook is a clear, concise, student resource that shows why these skills are important and the impact they have on students' efficiency and performance. It includes:

• Student Learning Outcomes (SLO's) that specify what students will know, be able to do, or be able to demonstrate when they have completed reading a chapter
• Motivational quotes from diverse sources
• Colorful storiesand real life examples from the author's personal experiences, illustrating what to do, what not to do and why
• Information designed for the millennial generation student with interactive links to audio and video reinforce learning

Dave Dillon earned a BA in Sociology from UC Santa Cruz and a MA in Counseling from the University of San Diego. His first career and passion was coaching basketball for seven years at UC San Diego. In the midst of a 20 win season, Dave slept atop the university's arena for two weeks helping to break a record for attendance at a home game.
