Abstract: This project identifies and creates a pedagogical synthesis of four major elements which can have tremendous influence on the academic performance of students.A model is presented to reflect the idea that study skills, stress management, health, and motivation can work both together and independently to influence a student's performance in school.One chapter is dedicated to each of the four elements: study skills, stress, health, and motivation.Information in each area comes in the form of quotations, anecdotes, and simple advice.Interactive exercises are included to encourage the reader to reflect on how the information in each chapter applies to him or her personally.Each chapter flnishes with a list of suggested readings, and readers are encouraged to pursue information as it pertains to their own needs and interests.Research for the project suggests that each of the four elements discussed can have a profound influence over student performance, and that, in order to ensure consistent success, due attention must be paid to all of these areas.iii DEDICATION This work is warmly dedicated.. . . to my Mom and Dadfor making the right decisions along the way, and making me believe anything is possible;
