| Textbook: Studying Engineering, fifth edition, by Ray
Landis. ISBN 978-0-9793487-2-3 Optional: The 5 Elements of Effective Thinking, by Edward Burger and Michael Starbird. ISBN 978-0-69115666-8 Another useful book is How to Become a Straight-A Student by Cal Newport. He also has a blog with some very good material. I came across The College De-Stress Handbook by Jeff Goelitz and Robert A. Rees from the Institute of HeartMath. The link will get you to a free download of the e-book. This appears to be a useful book, especially if you suffer from anxiety or stress. | |
