Critical Reading for College and Beyond uses regular journaling and self-assessment techniques to help students hone their abilities to read, analyze, and respond to textbooks and other college-appropriate materials.
Often students enter and slip through school without the proper skills necessary to learn. In other words, they need to learn how to learn. Graduates sometimes "forget" the skills they acquired in school and need to relearn learning in order to succeed in the workplace. This book provides important and necessary instruction on how to learn. With a focus on teaching learning strategies rather than the more narrow study skills, this book covers motivation, time management, learning principles, test review, test taking, and real-world strategies. It also addresses important topics such as test anxiety, notetaking, writing, and study groups. An ideal tool for teachers who want to teach their students proper learning skills or for the returning student who needs to brush up their technique.
This is the most accessible architectural theory book that exists. Korydon Smith presents each common architectural subject – such as tectonics, use, and site – as though it were a conversation across history between theorists by providing you with the original text, a reflective text, and a philosophical text. He also introduces each chapter by highlighting key ideas and asking you a set of reflective questions so that you can hone your own theory, which is essential to both your success in the studio and your adaptability in the profession. These primary source texts, which are central to your understanding of the discipline, were written by such architects as Le Corbusier, Robert Venturi, and Adrian Forty. The appendices also have guides to aid your reading comprehension; to help you write descriptively, analytically, and disputationally; and to show you citation styles and how to do library-based research. More than any other architectural theory book about the great thinkers, Introducing Architectural Theory teaches you to think as well.
