Format:Paperback
I bought this book when I returned to college to do A- levels and now that I'm in university I still use it. Many tutors recommend it and so would I.
Extremely useful if you are on a Open University course,other undergraduate course at university or just doing A-levels. One of the great things about the book is it easy readability, reassuring the reader that returning to study or studying for the first time is a skill that at first seems daunting but can be easily learn't through practice and not to get angry or disheartened if your work is criticised this is part of the learning process. Excellent for the Social Sciences.

Format:Paperback
A solid and competent book to help anyone unsure about how to study, or what might be expected of them, for a serious academic qualification. Standard issue for a lot of Open University courses, this is just as useful for any university or college course where students are expected to do their own reading, research, and private study. Essential wisdom on time-management and note-taking leads into detailed coverage of how to research and produce written work (including sections on using numbers, statistics and graphs/charts). If you are taking your first steps into higher education, or you think your study and writing skills might be a bit rusty, this book could be an enormous help.

Format:Paperback
This is an excellent book for new or experienced students in Social Sciences courses. Although it is suitable for students at traditional universities and colleges, it is particularly well suited to Open University and other distance learning students. For example, it has a chapter on "Learning from TV and Radio Broadcasts" as well as advice on taking notes in lectures. I have had mine for five years now, and the sections on essay writing and preparing for exams are particularly well-thumbed.
