ON COURSE: STRATEGIES FOR CREATING SUCCESS IN COLLEGE, CAREER, AND LIFE empowers you with the tools you need to take charge of your academic and lifelong success. Now in its 9th Edition, ON COURSE presents the choices that successful students make. A self-assessment at the beginning of the text helps you identify behaviors and beliefs you may wish to change in order to achieve more of your potential in college and in life. Through short articles and distinctive guided journal entries, the author encourages you to explore and develop eight keys to your success: personal responsibility, self-motivation, self-management, interdependence, self-awareness, lifelong learning, emotional intelligence, and self-esteem. As you develop these skills, you’ll find yourself making more effective choices and achieving greater success. “Healthy Choices” and “At Work” articles will teach you strategies for making wise choices in college and beyond. In addition, the MindTap-exclusive “Toolbox for Active Learners” provides extensive coverage of study skills that will help you excel in all of your college courses. Another self-assessment before and after the “Toolbox for Active Learners” will show you how much you’ve learned about being an effective learner.
