The Compact Oxford English Dictionary for Students is specifically
designed to meet the needs of today's students. With over 144,000
words, phrases, and definitions, it offers comprehensive coverage
of current English and is perfect for student reference and
everyday study needs. A simple defining style, and a clear colour
layout, ensure the dictionary text is accessible and easy to use.
Throughout the dictionary text there are notes giving advice on the
use of good English, and highlighting the differences between
commonly confused words such as empathy and sympathy, and affect
and effect, as well as thousands of example phrases showing words
in context. The dictionary has been market-tested with both
teachers and students. Of particular relevance is the centre
supplement, which gives lots of practical information - how to
research and take notes, how to write essays, dissertations,
reports, and summaries, advice on note-taking and referencing, and
preparing CVs and job applications - to help students do better in
their studies. It also provides help with English grammar,
spelling, and punctuation, to help students get it right every
time. As well as the printed book, there is an Online Resource
Centre, accessed via weblinks given in the book, which gives
additional information and study skills support. This portable and
affordable dictionary is an essential reference tool for all
college and university students who need practical advice and tips
to tackle their studies, and those who want to write effectively
and with confidence.
