Change in Chapter Order
One of the major changes is the chapter order. Since personality and learning style are key themes in the material, they have been moved earlier in both texts. The chapter on note taking, writing and speaking has been moved before the chapter on test taking. This change was made because some of the note taking and review topics are needed before the test taking chapter. The new chapter order is as follows:
Chapter 1,
Understanding Motivation
Chapter 2, Exploring Your Personality and Major
Chapter 3, Learning Style and Intelligence
Chapter 4, Managing Time and Money
Chapter 5, Improving Memory and Reading
Chapter 6, Taking Notes, Writing and Speaking
Chapter 7, Test Taking
Chapter 8, Exploring Interests and Values
Chapter 9, Planning Your Career and Education
Chapter 10, Communication and Relationships
Chapter 11, Thinking Critically and Creatively
Chapter 12, Maintaining a Healthy Lifestyle
Chapter 13, Appreciating Diversity
Chapter 14, Looking Toward the Future
