Reviews
This excellent new offering has a remarkable breadth of scope. A lengthy and especially valuable chapter discusses plagiarism with numerous useful examples and avoidance tips. The writing and format are admirably clear. Language style is conversational, direct and spare; short sections are organized with headings and subheadings; illustrations and graphics are appropriate, effectively support text, and add readability. Quarterly Review of Biology
If your course includes personal development modules then this could be the recommended text you have been searching for. If your course doesnt have personal development modules then this is the recommended text you will want your students to access. It has chapters which are of use for all stages of the undergraduate programme and aims to prepare the student for life beyond their studies as well. This book should be mandatory reading for students in any scientific discipline. HEA Physical Sciences Centre Reviews, July 2011 This book is a practical manual for students entering university and college, to help them to cope with the demands of a new learning environment. This could be a valuable resource for all students and its utility would last the whole of a degree course, making this a good buy.
