Rezensionen

Whether you are getting started or are an experienced learning developer and lecturer, Dawson s comprehensive study skills resource book will inspire and engage. Supported by adaptable student handouts, the activities are clearly explained, structured and varied, incorporating self-study, one-to-one and group delivery, with scope to stand alone or be embedded and tailored to meet curriculum and student needs. This versatile book will encourage you as a tutor to reflect and reconsider study skills teaching through a range of different topics, contexts and progressively across different levels of study, helping you to scaffold and support the student journey in participatory, imaginative and interactive ways.
