Making the Grade: A Study Programme for Adult Students : Reading and Learning

These books aim to offer a programmed course of learning for adults wishing to return to serious study and proceed into the higher education system. Based on Manchester University's access course, "New Horizons", they aim to help mature students to acquire and refresh their study skills, discover their potential as students and develop confidence and belief in their own abilities. The books are organized as a programmed text through which the reader can work, checking his or her progress against the study guides. They can be used as course material, for distance learning and for independent study. Although volume two follows on from volume one, each book can be used effectively on its own. "Reading and Learning" aims to give the adult student the effective techniques needed to cope with higher education. The book deals with being an adult student, organizing and planning your time, concentration and memory, studying alone and in groups, verbal communication, efficient reading, making notes, generating ideas and what makes a good essay. "Making the Grade" is designed for adults returning to further study, especially those with family or work commitments, or those in retirement, or planning a career change. Teachers in colleges of further education, extra-mural departments, schools, polytechnics and LEA institutions, will find it a useful teaching aid.

Making the Grade: A Study Programme for Adult Students, Thinking and Writing

This guide offers an introduction to the basic skills and intellectual tools required for making a study of fiction. It presents an explanation of the most common features of prose, using practical examples drawn from six short stories which are included as part of the study programme. The book is carefully structured in logical steps intended to lead the reader from attentive reading (to help produce a description of the piece), through analysis (inspecting, comparing and evaluating writing) to interpretation (making judgements on pieces of work and adopting different points of view). The overlapping of certain points and techniques is also explained and the book offers advice on spotting and analyzing specific writing techniques, gives practical advice on how to set about studying (keeping notes, organizing the page of work, drafting answers and so on) and offers self-assessment exercises and a detailed glossary. Under "Course Work", the book also suggests topics for discussion and essay topics for those using the book in a tutor-led setting.
