Effective Study Skills
Unlock your potential
Geraldine Price & Pat Maier
An accessible, student-friendly handbook covering all of the essential study skills that every student requires to get the most out of any university course.
"I would definitely recommend this to my friends and future students ... and I wish I had had a similar handbook when I had started university" Natasha, Undergraduate Graphic Communications student
Effective Study Skills provides tried & tested advice and guidance on the most important academic and study skills that you will require throughout your time at university and beyond. Presented in a practical and easy-to-use style it demonstrates the immediate benefits to be gained by developing and improving these skills during each stage of your course.
Effective Study Skills covers all of the key skills areas that will have the most impact on your performance and success on whatever course you are studying, including:
· Effectively managing your time and stress
· Getting the most out of lectures and tutorials
· Improving your revision skills and exam performance
· Mastering critical thinking, argument and analysis
· Developing successful reading and note-taking strategies
· Essay planning and academic writing techniques
· Working in groups and effective presentation of assignments and projects
All of these skills, which are as essential in the workplace as they are on an academic course, are covered in detail, giving you invaluable practical advice and guidance on how to increase your performance, grades and abilities. Real-life examples, self-assessment exercises and end-of-chapter quizzes will help you to assess your current skills levels, develop them further and learn how to apply them in work and study.
"Consistently readable and clearly accessible, this is a well-written and friendly textbook (that) encourages readers to reflect on their identity as a learner and helps motivate students when engaging with the content of their academic work and with the processes and methods involved in studying effectively."
Jonathan Wright, London College of Communication
“This is a useful 'pick and mix' - dip in and pull out a nugget of practical information. The bite-sized learning objectives make this a perfect tool box for teaching study skills. It lends itself to students at further and higher education levels, introducing and extending concepts in a clear, no-nonsense way.” Chris Pickering, Student Development Officer, University of Leeds
Students say:
An excellent and comprehensive text for all introductory students (and for those in their second and third years too)." Lesley-Ann Smith, Psychology / Criminology (Joint Honours) BA
"I would certainly buy this text myself ... [and] would certainly recommend it to my friends." Joe Stevens, LLb Law BA
"I would buy it for myself ... as it would assist in areas which students need to be aware of in order to succeed but which aren't taught by lecturers." Laura Moule, Psychology BA
"[This book] explains and instructs on how to develop all of the relevant skills and techniques which University requires of students." Jess Afronti, Psychology BA
