About the Book

This book is for motivated students who are committed to achieving the best degree they can, and for students who need help tapping into their potential. A good degree is a passport to a better life. It opens up career choices and enhances earning potential. More than anything else, a good degree brings freedom to choose, to change direction, and to follow up interesting options. Whether you go on to further study or not, people will still look at whether your first degree was a good one. So how do you get a good degree? Is it all a matter of luck? Is it hard work? This book features practical tasks to help you discover: why you want a good degree and what you need to do to achieve it; how to develop effective study habits; and how to make the most of available resources - time, people, learning materials. There are no short-cuts to working hard, but there are short-cuts to make sure the hard work you do is the right hard work.

Table of Contents:
Acknowledgements Foreword What is a good degree really a measure of? Capitalising on teaching-learning situations Going for gold in assessed coursework Putting your resources to work Aiming high in revision and exams Looking after yourself Some further reading.

About the Author :
Phil Race has spent much of the last 30 years helping students to maximise their potential. Originally a scientist, he progressively developed a keen interest in the processes of teaching, learning and asessment. He is author or co-author of a wide range of books and articles in these areas. He is Emeritus Professor of Educational Development of the University of Glamorgan, and now works part-time as Course Director of the University of Durham Certificate in Teaching in Higher Education, spending the rest of his time travelling throughout the UK and New Zealand leading staff-development workshops for lecturers, and study-skills development sessions for their students.

Review :
"...at the digestible end of the spectrum of academic style and language - the 11 chapters all stand alone in their own right and are easy to dip into, but they also work well together as a collection." - ROOF
