Synopsis
Students more familiar with failure than success can carry inhibiting levels of fear, and mature students are twice as likely to drop out of Higher Education in their first year than younger students. Through its use of conversational and supportive tones, "The Mature Student's Guide to Writing" puts readers at ease assisting the transition to academic study. The author makes no assumptions in terms of readers' prior knowledge - explanations are full, and each chapter contains an introduction and a summary. There are also exercises and many examples of students' writing. This accessible book will be an invaluable companion for the mature student, guiding them through what they need to know in order to write clear English.
