The changes of the education system exerts a lot of pressure on the higher education institution to promote learning that is active, participatory and learner-centered whereby learners and students are expected to develop independent learning and become life-long learners. The learners reach their tertiary level of education without basic academic skills required for academic achievement. Most of the students require substantial academic support and motivation in order to be efficient learners. This book provides a comprehensive outline of the relevant and very crucial academic support that meet the academic needs and demands of students. The analysis should provide more insight for the student development practitioners, educators and academic departments.
