this text is not specific to any one subject area. it is written in an easy-to-read style, using examples all students can relate to, with tips invaluable to all.
you too can benefit from my experience!before graduating from university i progressed my way through high school and achieved a lot of success along the way. this means a lot of the techniques i describe you can also apply if you're studying at these levels. i have tutored students studying at these levels and my techniques have been proven to be successful in helping them to achieve higher grades!
these techniques really do work!
excerpts from the book"often, students start university with no idea of what is required of them and think they have to write down every word that leaves their lecturer's mouth. as well as getting a lot of irrelevant information, such as 'now where did i leave my pointer', you will find that you get confused, as it is impossible to write at the same pace that they speak, no matter how easy or quickly your shorthand has become."
this is the light hearted, easy-to-read style of the book, which contains invaluable insider insights to help you make the most of your academic experience.
"if lecturers use powerpoint presentations, they may put these on the university intranet…i wouldn't recommend printing them out without looking at them carefully first, as often there may be only a few lines on each page and i've known them to be upwards of 30 pages."
there are many more practical tips inside the book!
"whilst you may prefer to photocopy all the papers you are asked to read, i'd advise you to actually sit and read them and make your own notes from them. firstly, this will save you money in photocopying and secondly, if you photocopy something the temptation is to put it in a folder as you know you've got it to read anytime, only you will never make time to do so - or when you do go to read it, you'll have so many other photocopied articles that have been neglected that you won't have time to read all of them. so, don't put it off, read it!!"
as well as money saving tips!
"when faced with possibly hundreds of essays on the same topic, having a few spicy references that will jump out at the marker as something new and interesting will push you into bonus points and hopefully that higher marking bracket."
"often students choose a short 'to the point' question, rather than a lengthier one composed of several points. in marking terms, whilst the brief question may appear easier to understand and get straight into, it's actually easier to score marks on a question where there are several points to be addressed."
