University students are typically exposed to a much wider variety
of academic sources at university - including monographs,
textbooks, journals, reports - and, crucially, a much larger
proportion of their time is spent on independent academic reading,
relative to their time in school. There are lots of study skills
texts which deal with academic writing in some form or other, but
there are far fewer resources which provide helpful guidance about
how to manage the early stages of an assignment. The quality of a
student's written work reflects the quality of their reading and
note-making skills. If students don't understand what their
assignment is asking; if students don't take control of their
reading list and consult the most appropriate sources; and if
students don't end the process of reading with meaningful notes
it's very unlikely that they will score high marks for their
assignment. This book helps readers to take charge of their reading
at university and provides succinct and practical guidance at key
stages of the assignment. It helps students to understand what
their assignment title means and how to identify useful, reliable
academic sources. It helps students to apply different reading
strategies, depending on the task at hand, and to approach texts
actively so that they are questioning and evaluating materials as
they go. In addition to reading strategies, the Pocket introduces
readers to useful strategies and tips for note-making. The final
part helps readers to make the most of their notes by engaging with
and reviewing the material they've created. New for this edition: -
A science-based example for STEM students - New section which helps
readers think about what type of information and evidence they need
to find - New tips on managing large volumes of reading - Updated
material on note-making software and online tools to reflect latest
technology
