FREE: EBOOK-Study Skills For Dummies, 2009 Edition

The listing, EBOOK-Study Skills For Dummies, 2009 Edition has ended.

Study Skills For Dummies aims to help every student get the most from
themselves and their studies. Not by burning the midnight oil in a garret and
forsaking everything and everyone else – far from it. This book explains some
of the reasoning behind how things work in the academic world, the duties
and responsibilities of students and their tutors and how and where to seek
out answers when something is not clear to you. Knowledge is power and
helps to put you in charge of your learning.
The book offers practical strategies to help you use your time effectively
and avoid stress, with suggestions for particular tasks like understanding
essay titles and taking notes. Regular preparation, followed by discussion or
self-reflection on what you’ve learned or how your views have changed in the
light of these experiences, are the bedrock of your learning experience. This
process of revisiting what you’ve learned strengthens not only your memory
for information – a great help later on, when the exams come round – but
also your own ideas and views. It also helps you construct your arguments in
favour of your views: this process is central to your academic development.
In other words, wherever possible, this book shows you how to kill at least
two birds with one stone, but you can dip into any chapter and find practical
suggestions for solving the problems or tackling the tasks at hand.
