[Review of the book Diagnostic and Remedial Techniques for Effective Study

Abstract

Reviews the book, Diagnostic and Remedial Techniques for Effective Study by Francis P. Robinson (1941). Broadly stated, the aim of this volume is to help the student in the class room, in the study hall, and on the campus. All of the material is organized into fifteen projects, presented under two general headings: (A) those which deal with study skills and background information, and (B) those which deal with problems indirectly affecting success. Projects in Section A concern use of time, study habits, study conditions, reading skills, vocabulary, library skills and examination skills. Projects in Section B relate to health, motivation, vocational choice, recreational and social adjustment, and personal problems. The book may be used in toto or in parts pertinent to particular situations. This is the best book on the topic of improvement of study the reviewer has seen.
