How to Study in College

Friday, 16. July 2010

Product Description
This best-selling text has helped over a million students transform adequate work into academic success. The Ninth Edition maintains the straightforward and traditional academic format that have made it the leading study skills text in the market. Based on widely tested educational and learning theories, How to Study in College teaches study techniques such as visual thinking, active listening, concentration, note taking, and test taking, while also incorporating material on life skills. Questions in the Margin, introduced in the previous edition and based on the Cornell Note Taking System, places key questions about content in the margins of the text to provide students with a means for reviewing and reciting the book’s main ideas. Students then use this concept–the Q-System–to formulate their own questions. The Ninth Edition has been revised to include fewer questions in later chapters to encourage students to practice the Q System and provide their own questions so that they can learn to apply these concepts in subsequent academic courses. Marginal “It’s Your Q” icons alert students when they should develop a question.

Taking It Personally: Racism In Classroom From Kindergarten To College

Thursday, 15. July 2010

Product Description
When Sekani Moyenda, an African American elementary school teacher, accepted an invitation to speak at a graduate education class, neither the students nor Ann Berlak, their professor, could guess that her presentation would spark an outpouring of emotion and a reexamination of race from everyone involved. The “encounter” as it was called was an expression of Moyenda’s anger at the institutionalized racism of our educational system, a system whose foundations are reinforced and whose assumptions about race are reproduced in the graduate school classroom. Forcing everyone involved to rethink their own race consciousness, “Taking it Personally” is a chronicle of two teachers and their own educational progress.In processing their own responses to the encounter, along with their students’, Berlak and Moyenda meditate not only on their own ideas on teaching and learning, but also redefine the obligation a teacher has to his or her students. Personal in its approach, yet grounded in significant currents of educational thought, “Taking it Personally” will be a must-read for any educator or educator-to-be who is committed to teaching in our diverse classrooms. Ann Berlak is Adjunct Professor in the Department of Elementary Education at San Francisco State University. Sekani Moyenda teaches reading and is the administrator for computer and network technology at Rosa Parks Elementary School in San Francisco.
