It also covers critical thinking, disciplinary knowledge, styles and genres, useful skills for reading, making notes, writing assessments (particularly use of language) understanding lectures and seminars, and speaking in seminars.This Pocket gives readers the tools and information needed to not only cope with university study, but to excel and produce top-level work. It encourages the reader to see themselves not just as a ‘student’ but as a researcher, an original and creative thinker, and as someone who can share their ideas and insights with others in order to add to the knowledge of their field.

Recensioner i media

A highly relevant toolkit for international students. The section on 'Using source material' is particularly valuable as it tackles a culture shock barrier, which is often difficult to overcome. This is an excellent resource that students can use throughout their academic studies and one that I will be recommending to my own students.
