Stephen- Check out Foundations for Learning (L.Hazard and JP Nadeau) Pearson-Prentice Hall Publisher. 126 pages of great and concise information. A great read. Compliments Skip's work (his is more student development based while this is more academic based). I use material from both to teach my class.

The course focuses more on student development than study skills and uses On Course by Skip Downing. Can anyone recommend a good companion reader that helps students develop critical thinking skills while practicing their reading skills? Stephen O.
