I was happy to add Six Steps to College Success: Learning Strategies for STEM Students to my collection of professional educational books. STEM is a an acronym referring to the academic disciplines of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The idea is that the success of students in the four areas of STEM is linked to the future success of the United States, which has placed more emphasis on the four areas of achievement for students. As an educator, classes are offered to train teachers in promoting these four areas of education and integrating them into all fields of study. Six Steps to College Success: Learning Strategies for STEM Students gives college level students guidelines to increase success in the four fields of STEM.

My thanks to Kathleen Straker, author and to Goodreads First Reads Giveaway for my copy of Six Steps to College Success: Learning Strategies for STEM Students that I won and plan to share with my best friend's four sons going to college in the fall.

I was interested in this book because my daughter talks about STEM and I wanted to learn more about it; I enjoyed reading Six Steps to College Success: Learning Strategies for STEM Students.

No Page Numbers

Dissatisfied. No Pages Numbers. Instead; bottom right where page numbers go; strange “n%”.

When assigned pages in a course, the instructor assigns a range to be read. For example, pp. 100-135.

There’s however no way to know if I read the assigned pages.

Pages numbers on ebooks need to be the same as the page number in the printed on paper text in the book. It’s otherwise not eligible to be considered the ebook version. If it’s not the same meaning Focus content isn’t on page 135 in both formats….then is very inconsiderate to the buyer who wouldn’t expect to be harassed by trying to figure out like a map and maze what page in the ebook is the page your supposed to be reading.

The model that this book had for students in the STEM to become better learners is outstanding! I definitely recommend for any student who is attempting to hone in on their own study skills!
