Reviews / Votes
Packed with concise information to help students succeed at university. Whether you are an undergraduate student or undertaking a postgraduate programme, you will be able to find a book that will help you develop your study skills.Of the three books I reviewed [Take Great Notes, Find Your Source and Plan Your Essay], all of them were easy to read and follow, with each book providing a 60 second summary before moving onto more detail in each section and providing reasoning throughout. -- Julie Quick * Journal of Perioperative Practice * This book has been a saviour especially at this time when I needed a host of resources for my dissertation. It opened my eyes to a variety of sources I didn't know exist. I would recommend this book to anyone who needs to find material for university course work. -- Edward Azumatse * Journal of Perioperative Practice *
