As part of the best-selling "Master Student" series, the concise version of "Becoming a Master Student, 11/e", offers all the key elements of the full text but combines topics and streamlines articles and activities into ten chapters. This market leader is known for its self-discovery perspective, effective article-style format and useful strategies and exercises that help students understand their own strengths and weaknesses, set goals and develop life-long learning skills. Like the full text, "Becoming a Master Student Concise, 11/e", has been rejuvenated with a cleaner, more sophisticated design, making it more appealing to both traditional students and adult learners. A new organisational framework provides structure throughout the text and helps students monitor thinking and learning. Strong career application case studies at the end of each chapter allow students to apply new skills to the workplace environment right away. To shorten the concise text to 10 chapters, Diversity coverage is integrated throughout each chapter, rather than in a separate chapter of its own.
Health coverage has been abbreviated and incorporated in the Introduction, "Making Healthy Transitions" and additional health resources are available on the instructor website and ClassPrep CD. As with the other "Master Student" texts, a special Advisory Board heavily influenced the concise revision. This Advisory Board consists of instructors, academic advisors, counsellors and program directors - individuals who best understand the needs of students.
