If you're undertaking an undergraduate This book is excellent for those who've just started their higher education. If you're undertaking an undergraduate degree, I'd strongly recommend that you purchase this handbook. Oct 02, D. Review - I think this is the best study skills book I've read. I'm now on my third degree and so have read quite a lot around the best ways to study. This book is helpful because it also encourages you to look backwards and evaluate what you already know, as well as looking forwards into the future.
There are planning tables to help you plan all kinds of assignments and it is well laid out so that you can easily find the information you are looking for. This page book is listing the learning skills with practical tips to be used during your course of study. I like the most some of the listed skills. First, research skill that is one of the pillars of university study. Second, developing the writing style which is essential for both undergraduate and post-graduate students.
Third, critical analytical thinking skill; this skill can improve the way we think and the way we deal with different issues. The book is full of examples and activities. I strongly recommend this book for both under and post-graduate students. Dec 30, Lara rated it liked it.
Packed with information, although not all of it is relevant at some points, useful nonetheless. Sep 30, Virginia Rand rated it it was ok. Probably useful for the marginal student but it's a little out of date. I previously received this during summer school at one of the universities I was interested in. I can't really remember what this book was about. I had to reread a chapter for critical and analytical thinking, and I found it really interesting. It really consolidated today's lecture and was hugely helpful.

Experiment with strategies and skills you currently under-use. The brain is highly adaptable. Useful handbook for students at their first year in undergraduate courses. It may spare you some bad marks, if used well.

The Study Abroad Handbook

Review quote 'It addresses all the key areas that students need to think about and with the level of detail that it is impossible to achieve through the briefing sessions, preparatory meetings and documentation most study abroad offices provide.
You've nailed the tone of it - it is spot on for students. The practicality of the guide - with the checklists, questions, tips, heads-ups etc - is fantastic. Something that will be really useful to most students who are heading 'out there'.
