Six Steps to College Success
Learning Strategies for STEM Students
Six Steps to College Success is written for college students who want to take charge of their own learning. The strategies taught were originally developed for graduate, medical, dental, veterinary, and nursing students. But these techniques proved to be so successful that undergraduate students requested their own version of the book. Though aimed at students in health sciences and STEM fields, the strategies work for motivated students in any discipline.
