There are moments in nearly everyone's degree when one has to do something - lead a seminar, go on a fieldtrip, cite references, think through arguments - but how to do it or what to expect is unclear. Studying at university requires a slightly different approach to studying at school and if you are uncertain about what is required, this is the book for you. Packed with practical hints, study tips, short cuts and examples, this book is designed to help you throughout your degree.
Designed for all geography students, this guide delves into coping with conflicting time commitments, constructing essays, presentations with posters and in class, managing different styles of assessment, dissertations, tutorial activities, discussion and debate, and much, much more. Sound advice is mixed with crosswords, games and reassurance. Study Skills for Geography Students is a hands-on manual designed to help you make the most of your degree course and to enjoy it.

Of value throughout a degree programme. Every student should buy a copy.

In summary, Kneale's guide provides a useful and imaginative guide to good practice in the skills required for geographical learning whilst recognizing the individuality of student learning experiences. Its style is refreshing, combining serious points with light relief.

Studying is one of the most challenging activities and one of the most satisfying. However, if you take the wrong approach it can be frustrating and disappointing and geography in particular calls on a wide range of skills, from oral presentations to IT fluency, from working in teams to data handling. Study Skills for Geographers is an essential reference for geography undergraduates who want a clear and easily-accessible guide to getting on with research and study in geography. Recognising that methods of teaching and expectations at undergraduate level are very different to those encountered at A level, it seeks to remind students that studying geography is fun whilst outlining the basic skills required for the most efficient use of their time.
