Product Description:
This book offers one of the most complete, concrete student success programs in the country, with suggestions and strategies for academic success and personal improvement—including goals, change, and career/life planning. Visually stunning, conversationally written, and student-tested, the book provides learners with a variety of solutions to almost any problem faced in the first year of college and beyond. Chapter-opening vignettes—inspired by students across America— contain advice from professionals in “the world of work” such as managers from General Motors, Wal-Mart, Disney, Marriott, Bank One, and Waddell and Reed. These vignettes enable readers to see strategies and success in action and in real life. Chapter topics discuss change, managing time and money, building active reading and comprehension skills, learning styles, empowering memory, critical and creative thinking skills, and much more. For anyone embarking on a college education, or interested in bettering themselves through the “self-help” genre.

Rating:  - Excellent
I was satisfied with my book. It was cheap , in good condition as mentioned by the seller and the delivery was fast.
Rating:  - Good book
The book was informational, was thought provoking and gave good tips on test taking. One of the topics enlists you to find your personality and test taking styles then how to build on that in the classroom (and outside) to your advantage. Very life applicational.
Rating: - Good Study Material...
Cornerstone is great material for my Strategies for Success class. I like the stories of real people that they list in the book, it has worked as a better illustration for me then most pictures. Greatly recommend this book even if you don't have a class you need this book for, but just a read as well.
