New design! New content! This student orientation book written by Karen Mitchell Smith and Katharine O'Moore-Klopf, contains new interactive features. Typically, college success textbooks focus on traditional higher education academic skills: note taking, test strategies and research. With the increasing trend, especially at two-year colleges, of students immediately entering the workforce immediately after graduation, Taking Charge directly contextualizes these academic skill with the soft skills necessary to succeed in the workplace. Features include chapter objectives, Student Disorientation outlining a familiar problem, personal exercises, interactive QR codes, evaluation checklists, ethical dilemmas to solve, puzzles, quick tips related to specific chapters and additional resources. Each chapter also contains worksheets to help students analyze and absorb material while studying a new subject.
