Description
“Much can be gained from this book by both students and instructors in all fields. My biggest
take-away is the authorâ€s insistence, ‘Now hear this: All students are capable of
excellingâ€. This book shows how.― (Reflective Teaching)“This book is awesome!!! I really
wish that I had this book when I was younger. We spend such a huge portion of our lives learning
but no one ever taught us how.When I read the section on the study cycle, I was surprised to find
that I actually use that technique for pera/rehearsal. I always preview my score before and then
afterward I fill in the blanks and write down the staging etc. Why did I simply not think to do that in
college for, you know, everything! This is so fantastic and Iâ€m going to tell everyone I know,
especially folks with kids.― (Michelle Trainor, soprano Boston Lyric Opera)'Maybe this is a
reflection on just how big of a nerd I am, but this is the book that I wish I had when I was in
college, or even in high school, to understand that I could have a little bit more control over my
brain, and harness [its] power in a good direction. It would be really good for a first-year student
seminar, a class that focused on study skills, or a tutoring center.' (Kathryn (Katie) Linder,
Research Director for Ecampus Oregon State University)“Dr. Saundra McGuire has extended
her expertise directly to students in this companion to Teach Students How to Learn. After
impacting faculty and academic support professionals†approach to helping students learn
best, she now introduces and guides students to deeper understanding of concepts at different
levels. By reframing their approach to studying in college using her methods, they can become
better motivated, manage their study time effectively, earn higher grades, and develop successful
college careers.― (Johanna Dvorak, PhD, Director Emerita, Educational Support Services
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Educational Research Consulting, LLC)'This book is going to
help so many students!!! Dr. McGuire is a master story teller armed with the science of learning.
From each chapter to the next, strategies are strategically laid out in a way to help any learner in
any course. Read one chapter or the entire book, and if you follow the suggestions provided you
will see a difference in not only what you learn, but more importantly, how you think about
learning.' (Todd Zakrajsek, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill .)'Time and time again, I
brought Dr. Saundra to several Historically Black Colleges and Universities, such as Johnson C.
Smith University, Dillard University, Cheyney University and Bennett College, to expose students
and/or faculty about proven strategies, as described in this book, that students can use to teach
themselves 'how to learn.' I also shared these strategies with my daughter and her friends while
they were in Medical School at East Carolina University. Simply put, these strategies work!'
