Student Success is a series of essential guides for students of all levels. From how to think critically and write great essays to boosting your employability and managing your wellbeing, the Student Success series helps you study smarter and get the best from your time at university.
A useful text for students who need a little more guidance over and above the guidance offered by university briefings sessions. Easily accessible and for me made the topic of independent study fun!
A useful reading guide for any one doing a research task module
I highly recommend this book to other researchers. It gives you an opportunity to show how well informed you are, how well organised you can be and how you can make a clear presentation of your work for effective communication.
Good source for students new to research.
A very useful guide for students undertaking their dissertations
An invaluable resource for undergraduate students who are new to undertaking a research project. It is accessible - and uses humour to help get the points across. Highly recommended for my final year undergraduate students!
This book would support my students to get to grips with their dissertation.
This is a brilliant book aimed at the students. I am going to recommend the book to the library and have already shown the book to the students.
Not since Judith Bells' "Doing your research project" has there been a text so helpful to undergraduates.
Accessible, informative and sensible!
A much needed text - already added to the essentail reading list.
This is a very helpful book for third year students undertaking their major project. It clearly takes the student through the initial steps of researching a topic, through to discussion of results.
Very accessible and, clearly presented.
