Review: This practical book is about managing your degree to ensure that you have a good time and achieve the best results. Every aspect is covered. The authors begin by discussing the differences between school work and studying for a degree, and go on to give advice on how to maximise your learning opportunities by reading textbooks effectively, using the reading list and making a personalised study plan. Time management, both in the first six weeks and throughout your course, is covered in detail – from running a car to making the most of the vacations. Lectures, tutorials, choosing options, and the merits of coursework versus exams are all included. Outside study, finances and peer group pressure, and ways of coping if things go wrong, are included. Finally, exams, post-grad options and life after your degree are all included.
