Rezensionen

"Phil Race has a rare talent for expressing profound wisdom andsound advice in words which his readers find easy to understand andin suggestions which they can and do readily follow to good effect.He does this, again, in his new book - which is not so much abook as a rich library of booklets within one volume. These shouldguide any student reader through all the different and difficultdemands which the university experience generates. ... he haslinked chains of advice points into splendid plans of attack foruse in dealing with each new challenge. I especially liked theplans for essay writing and coping with examinations, because theycontained so much that I wish I had been told as a student,expressed in terms I wish I could have passed on

to my ownstudents." John Cowan, Emeritus Professor of LearningDevelopment, the Open University

"I was very disorganised at university so a lot of what is inHow to Study left me wincing. It is spot on. Taking control oflearning and taking responsibility can be the hardest parts ofsuccessful university study. Phil Race shows what is possible withforward planning. Not everyone needs all the tips but all of us Isuspect could have done with some of them. And every little helps."Sally Hunt, General Secretary, AUT

"I believe that this is an excellent resource which would, I amsure, be of benefit to all students trying to cope with the demandsof higher education." Graham Henderson, Vice Chancellor,University of Teesside

This book is much more than a manual. It is a self-help guide tostudents of all ages and can be used either by dipping in and out,or reading it, as I did, systematically from cover to cover. I wishI had had a book like this when I was a student and would certainlyrecommend it to anyone." Susan Bassnett, pro-Vice Chancellor,University of Warwick

"A very readable and enjoyable study guide" Karen Monaghan,BSc (Hons) Psychology - 3rd Year, Glasgow Caledonian University& BPS/SMG Member's Liaison Officer 2002/3 - 2003/4
