A key emphasis on proven strategies for successfully completing college level work is the focus of the 10 Hour edition. It uses a 10.2 readability to teach ten of the top college learning disciplines in a sequential step-by-step format that challenges students to be more effective in less time and with greater comprehension.
Students learn how to STUDY SMARTER not HARDER by using tips past college students have proven to work. The intensive 10 Hour format provides a shortened curriculum that can be integrated into many adaptations including as a pre-college seminar for high school students, a freshman seminar for new students, and as a retention seminar for students on academic probation, those being readmitted or matriculating too slowly due to excessive course withdrawals.
Unlike traditional college level texts, the 10 Tips for Academic Success emphasis is challenging, demanding, and intensive. It proves an enrichment for anyone wishing to STUDY SMARTER, READ FASTER, and SCORE HIGHER ON TESTS and can be taught by any instructor without the need for special training. Built-in assessments allow for constant validation of progress and a cumulative sequence of skills instruction provides a clear picture of how all strategies are integrated into active, everyday learning. Optional On-Site Training for staff, tutors, and students is available. (click On-Site Training)

The TEACHER MANUAL provides a clear, step-by-step instructional format that emphasizes learning-by-doing by students over direct lecture by teachers. Each lesson is developed in a "scripted" format to reduce preparation time. Interaction with students using questions, a Transparency and Listening Tape Set, and practice examples in the Student Workbook allow teachers to maintain an active student-centered learning atmosphere that emphasizes self-discovery and the trial and error of learning using an active "hands-on" format. Each lesson includes 10-15 pages of instruction, requires no special training, and can usually be organized into 1-1 1/4 hours per class. Size 8 1/2" x 11", spiro bound, 104 pages Transparency Set=48 rainbow colored, 8 1/2 x 11" Listening Tapes= 4 emphasizing listening/outlining/note taking |
