Overview

Math Study Skills outlines good study habits and provides students with study strategies and tips to improve in areas such as time management, organization, and test-taking skills. With a friendly and relatable voice, Alan Bass addresses the misgivings and challenges many students face in a math class, and offers techniques to improve their study skills, as well as opportunities to practice and assess these techniques. This math study skills workbook is short enough to be used as a supplement in a math course, but can also be used as a main text in a study skills class.

About the Author, Alan Bass

Alan Bass earned his Master of Science degree in Mathematics from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. Presently, he lives, writes, runs, swims, bikes, hikes, and plays music with his wife Holly in sunny San Diego, CA. (He also enjoys fine wine and all things nerdy). He is an Associate Professor of Mathematics at San Diego Mesa College (just got tenure) and has been teaching developmental math for more than ten years. He is a big advocate for math study skills so, through a grant project called Pathways through Algebra, he got into networking with other schools to make study skills programs happen. He has worked on developing learning communities, establishing curriculum and pedagogy for study skills classes, and methods for incorporating study skills directly into the classroom. He has created and accumulated a ton of material, and wants to share it with you! For more information, check out his website at http://www.pearsonhighered.com/alanbass/index.html.
