This is a complete course in study skills for students in further and
higher education institutions. Skills taught include: improving reading
efficiency; note-taking; preparing for seminars; research techniques;
essay organization and presentation; exam preparation. One unit also
deals with the social aspects of studying in Britain. The emphasis is on
student activity and realistic practical work. To make the course as
flexible as possible, suggestions are given in the Tutor's Book for
'full-time' and 'minimum time' allocations within each unit. Full-time
allocations give about 90 classroom hours; the shorter programme can be
completed in about 50 hours. The Tutor's Book also provides suggestions
for further reading and answers to the exercises. Answers are also given
in the Student's Book, so making it possible for most of the course to
be used for individual study. The cassette recording contains the
lecture material for Unit 3 Taking Notes.
