100% Student Success - Softcover

100% Student Success is part of the new 100% Success Series that is directed at the development of professional skills and characteristics that begin in college and extend through the job search and into the lifelong learning environment of the workplace. This first textbook in the series serves as a comprehensive resource for student academic success. It emphasizes the development of self-management and professional skills with the assumption that entering college students must acquire, develop, practice, and enhance these skills in order to be prepared for the workplace. The content is designed to be applied throughout the academic experience and into the workplace. It is based on the premise that self-management and professional skills must be developed consistently over time and in every class. Students are encouraged to develop practices and habits that will support them in their academic, personal, and professional lives. Content applies to developing general professional traits or can be applied to specific fields, and there are multiple supplements to help reinforce the message, including a Learning Portfolio. Students will also benefit from electronic supplements including an online companion and web tutors.
