This innovative new textbook offers the ideal balance of motivation, academics and life skills. In every chapter, students are encouraged to take a positive, success-oriented approach to their course - and to life in general - by working to strengthen their strengths, celebrate progress, and use setbacks as opportunities for growth. With an emphasis on self-knowledge, and on building skills for college and career success, Connections empowers students to become self-regulated, collaborative learners.
This is an ideal text for first-year experience courses, freshman seminar courses and modules on Personal Development and Employability.
Connections is available with LaunchPad. LaunchPad combines an interactive ebook with high-quality multimedia content and ready-made assessment options, including ACES (the Academic and Career Excellence System) student self-assessment. See `Instructor Resources' and `Student Resources' for further information.
