About the Book

So, you're getting back into study for the first time in a while? Maybe a TAFE or community centre course, a degree, or an open learning or external course from a university? It's a challenge! But one that you're up to, with the right approach. The experience will be very different from your years at school. Life is no longer so simple. You'll have to juggle your time and commitments, keep up relatinships with family and friends, create space and energy for learning, and cope with new approaches to teaching. There's a lot going on, but with planning and commitment, and a little help from this book, you'll get the most out of your study. In this inspirational guide, Caroline Brem addresses the needs and concerns of all those who are returning to learning. She gives entertaining and, above all, useful advice on: - your attitude to learning - setting up the environment for study and learning - tips on your time, space, health and relationships - overcoming blocks to learning and finding that mental energy - the resources, skills and study techniques you need, and - all the fiddly bits of essays, reports and exams.
