A time-tested, student-centred guide, Becoming a Master Student helps students make the transition from high school to post-secondary education and teaches them how to make the most of their post-secondary career as they prepare for the workforce. It provides students with the tools to discover what type of learner they are, and how this can translate into success in their academic career and for their own personal goals. Becoming a Master Student functions as a workbook that guides students through articles and short exercises that help them to develop the characteristics of successful students.
