This online book is designed to help students learn the skills they will need to do well in college-level classes. Some courses will focus on writing, some on reading, and some on a combination of the two; this book is designed to work with all of those classes.

Welcome, students, and remember: a skill is not a magical ability. By that, we mean it can be learned; you don't have to be born "good at" reading or writing. Like any other skill, reading and writing abilities improve through learning the step-by-step process to doing both, and through practice. We hope this book will help you develop your own skills.

  Perspective, or how one looks at a situation or makes an assessment, is more or less based on his, her or their experiential knowledge to date. Shared perspectives can open up possibilities and expand one's awareness and understanding.  This is the essence of critical thinking!  When students' perspectives are shared, and questions are allowed to challenge the biases or judgments that form their opinions, there are opportunities and possibilities to change, enhance, support the perspectives that are meaningful and positive.
