This recently published book “How to Be a Super Student” was a culmination of multiple aspects of my academic career. After being an academic for many years and writing several books for instructors, I realized that there was a major scholarly aspect still missing. I had not created a book to specifically address the needs of students in helping them succeed in education.
My main pursuit is to continually work to improve education by addressing teaching and learning. I have done a lot with teaching, so now it was time to specifically address learning. This book addresses many aspects of learning and presents the information as superpowers for students to learn about and obtain. As the book description states “Everything is covered, from effective study habits to being organized, to getting/staying healthy, as well as so much more. The secrets to these superpowers are revealed in an easy-to-understand and straightforward fashion.”
Although I have worked in the past to help instructors create the best educational experience possible, this book helps students take personal responsibility to succeed in learning, even if they aren’t fortunate enough to have a great instructor. Additionally, this book provides multiple resources, guides, how-to, and examples based on personal experiences, student interviews, and many learning-science research articles.
This book is a powerful resource and is recommended for anyone that is going to college, getting a technical degree, going to a trade school, attending military training, or virtually anyone that is continuing on with education and wants to help ensure success.
The book is available both as a paperback and ebook on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/How-Be-Super-Student-Experience/dp/0998763756
