This hands-on book introduces students to the demands of university
study in a clear and accessible way and helps them to understand what is
expected of them. It helps students to develop the core skills they need
to succeed at university, and gives guidance on the key forms of
academic writing, including essays, reports, reflective assignments and
exam papers. It shows students how to recognise opinions, positions and
bias in academic texts from a range of genres, develop their own 'voice'
and refer to others' ideas in an appropriate way. It also features
authentic examples of academic texts and engaging activities throughout
to aid understanding.
Packed with practical guidance and self-study activities, this book will
be an essential resource for all students new to university-level study.
