Teach Students How to Learn: Strategies You Can… von Saundra Yancy McGuire
The book is focused on teaching methods for learning such that college students will be more successful in learning the material and getting better grades.

The book is likely helpful to largely college teachers or maybe high school teachers, who could help students move toward more cognitive learning versus memorization.… (mehr)
½I guess I shouldn't knock this before I try it, but consider me to be less than convinced of its efficacy. A couple of cute anecdotes about students seeking out help who then improve their scores doesn't convince me that students who are consistently absent from class, don't go to office hours, and don't turn in assignments are going to magically turn things around after their first exam and surprise me with an A grade.
Examples and strategies for increasing learning in your classroom.
When I retired seven years ago, I began teaching at a local community college. I quickly became dismayed at how many students who graduated from high school did not know how to study, a skill I mistakenly thought should have been learned in high school. The author had a similar experience. This book is a wonderful resource for college faculty providing a wealth of learning strategies, which can be included in any classroom to increase the probability of success.
