Product Description

Study Skills Teacher
It is truly a compulsively good read…a beautifully crafted, student-friendly, superb catalogue of
really helpful advice. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Back Jacket
Studying is one of the most challenging activities and one of the most satisfying; indeed it can change your life. But if you take the wrong approach it can be frustrating and disappointing. Whether you are new to study or more experienced, The Good Study Guide will improve your study skills by helping you to:
* read with concentration and understanding
* write fluently and forcefully
* develop a flexible note-taking strategy
* handle numbers confidently
* prepare effectively for exams

The Good Study Guide can be used either as an introductory workbook or as a reference book to help you refine your study technique. Using real-life examples and practical exercises, it is designed to meet the needs of social science and humanities students, including adults studying part-time and anyone returning to study, perhaps after a long break. It is a set book for the Open University Social Sciences Foundation Course.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent guide to studying., 7 Feb 2003
By J. Maher (Rochdale , Lancs, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars An essential companion for university or college study, 22 Sep 2003
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book for new or experienced students., 27 Sep 2000
By A Customer
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.
