Download or read book What the Best College Students Do written by Ken Bain and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2012-08-27 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of the best-selling What the Best College Teachers Do is back with more humane, doable, and inspiring help, this time for students who want to get the most out of college—and every other educational enterprise, too. The first thing they should do? Think beyond the transcript. The creative, successful people profiled in this book—college graduates who went on to change the world we live in—aimed higher than straight A’s. They used their four years to cultivate habits of thought that would enable them to grow and adapt throughout their lives. Combining academic research on learning and motivation with insights drawn from interviews with people who have won Nobel Prizes, Emmys, fame, or the admiration of people in their field, Ken Bain identifies the key attitudes that distinguished the best college students from their peers. These individuals started out with the belief that intelligence and ability are expandable, not fixed. This led them to make connections across disciplines, to develop a “meta-cognitive” understanding of their own ways of thinking, and to find ways to negotiate ill-structured problems rather than simply looking for right answers. Intrinsically motivated by their own sense of purpose, they were not demoralized by failure nor overly impressed with conventional notions of success. These movers and shakers didn’t achieve success by making success their goal. For them, it was a byproduct of following their intellectual curiosity, solving useful problems, and taking risks in order to learn and grow.

Download or read book The Complete Guide to College Success written by Richard S. Newman and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 1995-10-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bookstores are filled with shelves and shelves of books telling students how to get A's, how to manage their time more effectively, how to succeed socially, and how to get along with their roommates. Few, however, combine all these elements into a single, handy volume, and almost none are written by students themselves. Unique in its approach, The Complete Guide to College Success adopts a conversational style that engages the student in dialogue with its question and answer format, all the while providing useful, hands-on suggestions that translate into a positive college experience. Divided into three sections, The Complete Guide tackles Personal Development, Social and Interpersonal Excellence, and Academic Success. Each section is filled with self- improvement tips and strategies to make the college experience in its entirety a rewarding one. Descriptive and prescriptive in nature, the guide both informs readers and advises them: Do you have trouble taking tests? Here are some easy, and extremely effective, ways to enhance your memory and ace your exams. Are you always at a loss for time?The book provides straight-forward and proven strategies for time management. Nervous about meeting new people? Richard Newman has just the advice to put you at ease and to show you how to engage others. Concerned about dating, relationships, and sex issues in college?This book presents perspectives from students all over America. Newman also serves up an in-the-trenches look at college life with his Student Views, which introduce most chapters. Student Views are a collection of quotes gathered from college students around the country, who give their take on the issue that the chapter discusses. While most college guides are written by professionals in the fields of psychology or health, The Complete Guide to College Success is one of the only books written by a real expert—a student himself. Newman knows the reality of contemporary college life and here presents a wide range of college issues. Informal, candid, and easy-to-read, The Complete Guide to College Success is a book no college student should be without. Table of Contents Acknowledgments Introduction 1. The Power of Belief 2.
