About this title

Synopsis

  ?For those attending university for the first time, the demands made on them academically and socially can seem daunting. Studying at University equips you with strategies for making the most out of the experience from the moment you arrive until after you leave. Written with fresh insight, the book addresses key issues such as:

• adjusting to life at university
• making presentations
• working in small groups
• library and computer resources
• making the most from lectures and seminars
• basic numeracy and statistics.

Studying at University also presents you with new ways of learning. Discover ways of developing memory techniques as an aid for not just exams, but so you can reap the best rewards from the subject matter in hand. Ways of coping with exam and test anxieties are addressed, and a final section looks at preparing for job interviews after university life.

Packed with illustrative material and practical exercises, Studying at University enables you to perform at your very best academically.
