About this title

Synopsis:

at College or University. Too often students, particularly dyslexic/dyspraxic ones, are ill-prepared for the rigour of academic study. They then flounder and don't obtain the grades their hard work and ability deserves. This book gives simple, essential advice on:

* Personal organisation
* Planning and writing for examinations, assignments and essays
* Creating your all important personal dictionary
* How to research for an assignment
* Note-taking in lectures
* How to organise revision
* Working effectively in examinations
* What is a "Gobbett" and how to deal with it!
* Useful study aids

Despite her dyslexia, Rebecca graduated from Sussex University in July 2008 with an honours degree in contemporary history. As part of her course she wrote an extended essay on film and history, which was subsequently published. This, and her experiences at Uni, inspired her to explore her love of literature and she is now studying Creative Writing with the Open University.
