Keys to Success Series

What Instructors and Students say about Keys

"The work ethic Carter teaches in Keys to Success can be applied not only in the class or workplace, but in personal areas. Keys thoroughly explains the skills needed to get ahead and teaches you how to effectively implement them in your own life." -Torey Greenwald, Student at the University of Florida

"I think the text is excellent and supports lifelong learning. The writing style. . . suggests a conversation between the text and its reader. Clear, 'fresh', comprehensive and focuses on the 'whole' student. Sound theoretical base." -Christine Lottman, University of Cincinnati

"Unlike other textbooks that focus on lecturing with a certain heaviness, Carter's Keys is more interactive. Never once while reading did I feel discouraged; rather, Keys inspired and encouraged me to take the next step in my academic career with confidence." -Laura Daugherty, Student at University of Colorado at Boulder

"The impact this book has had on my college career is invaluable. Time management is crucial and Keys to Success has helped me learn how to efficiently manage my school work and personal life." -Joshua Carter, Student at Ohio State University

"Students with every type of learning style will be able to learn and apply the concepts in this text in a lasting manner." -Lanita Legan, Texas State Univesity

"User-friendly, interesting to read. . . full of tips and strategies students can use." -Katherine Hansen, Minnesota State University
