While all of the components that make up your performance as a learner are important, working on and
improving your learning skills is especially critical, as there is a direct correlation between your mastery
of those skills and your success as a student. With that in mind, return to “How to Use this Book” (directly
preceding Chapter 1) and review the list of 25 learning skills that were identified as central to Foundations
of Learning. From that list, select five skills that you are willing to focus on, over the course of this class.
