Successful Study: Skills for Teaching Assistants (Volume 2)

Specifically written with the needs of teaching assistants who are undertaking the foundation degree in mind, this book clearly explains what is expected from study in Higher Education and how this can be put into practice by including: clear definitions of the key techniques for effective university study; practical activities, handy hints and reflective questions; unique chapters that focus upon exams, essay-writing, revision, portfolios, presentations and displays; and examples based on the experiences of real teaching assistants. Assuming no previous study experience, the easy-to-use approach of this text should be key to the successful study of teaching assistants who are returning to formal academic training after many years.
