"...at the digestible end of the spectrum of academic style and language - the 11 chapters all stand alone in their own right and are easy to dip into, but they also work well together as a collection." - ROOF

Phil Race seems to cover everything in great detail at every stage of the educational process from lectures to, using the library, making notes rather than just taking them; the process of how you learn. I found it very useful. The only thing I found unrealistic was his advice in exams to spend 10 mins planning & leave 20mins for editing the answers in order to pick up even greater marks. If I could write the answers to a 2 hour exam in an hour & a half I wouldn't need this book. Other than that It's packed with enormous detail in every area of the university leanring process. The opportunity to summarise the best approaches as you work through to the final action plan helps to distil the best strategies for you to get that good degree.

This book is excellent value with well thought out practical measures for a student to, at least think about, and more likely adopt. The book doesn't patronise the student and caters for a wide array of types of study - all students are individuals, after all. The way it's cconstructed and presented even offers students a different way of thinking about their studies so they can change their patterns for better learning.
Phil Race sets out with an immediate plan of introspection from which a student will build. What I like most about this method is that it starts from a point of accepting who you are and allows YOU to see for yourself what avenues you can take to inprove your study that are likely to be most acceptable to you. I think it's a "should read" for ANY student embarking on a period of serious study.
Although it's geared to degree study, I believe ther's much in here for the 'A' level student and 'PhD' student alike.
