Is your study routine in need of a complete transformation?
Note: This is a short book of roughly 18,000 words.
Study skills are an important part of being a student. Despite this, some schools and academic institutions don't spend much time teaching them, or skip over them entirely because they expect you to already know how to study by the time you enrol.
If you feel lost when it comes to planning your study routine, or think you need help developing your study techniques, then this guide is for you.
Topics covered in this book include:
- How to start your course on the right foot, while you are still excited and haven't gotten buried under too much work.
- How to recover if you are already part way through the course, but due to mitigating circumstances you haven't been able to start the work yet or are at risk of failing.
- Studying and revision methods for different learning styles.
- General study skills that are also great practical skills that will make your life and career easier.
- The surprising reason people leave a lot of points on the table during an exam.
- How to ask academic staff questions when you need their help, without "sounding stupid" or whatever similar fear is stopping you from approaching them.
