Stepping up to the Second Year at University - Academic, psychological and social dimensions (Hardcover): Clare Milsom, Martyn... Stepping up to the Second Year at University - Academic, psychological and social dimensions (Hardcover)
Clare Milsom, Martyn Stewart, Mantz Yorke, Elena Zaitseva
R4,469 Discovery Miles 44 690 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Programmes in higher education tend to focus attention on the student s first year (because of concerns about student transition and retention) and on their final year (because of student exiting for their future careers). The middle year(s) of programmes receive relatively little attention which can often lead to a slump in student development at a crucial point in their studies. This book provides practical advice that can be implemented by staff throughout higher education institutions. Rather than providing a set of prescriptions to be slavishly implemented, it prompts practitioners to think constructively about curriculum design and delivery, and about maximising student potential within the context of their particular institution. Amongst the questions asked in this book are:

  • In what way do students perceptions of their experience shift as they progress through the first two years of study?
  • How do psychological factors bear on student engagement and performance in the second year?
  • What in the second-year curriculum might need greater attention?
  • How can the analysis of institutional data help?

This book, builds on critiques existing international research on the mid-years experience and also features evidence from a significant new research project from Liverpool John Moores University, provides a number of starting points for institutions enhancement activities as they seek to make the experience of their students as rewarding as possible. It is a must read for institutional managers of higher academic programmes, higher education practitioners and anyone interested in the development of teaching at higher education level."

Fossils at a Glance (Paperback, 2nd Edition): Clare Milsom, Sue Rigby Fossils at a Glance (Paperback, 2nd Edition)
Clare Milsom, Sue Rigby
R1,193 Discovery Miles 11 930 Ships in 9 - 17 working days

Fossils provide a powerful tool for the study of the nearly 4-billion-year history of life, and its role in the evolution of Earth systems. They also provide important data for evolutionary studies, and contribute to our understanding of the extinction of organisms and the origins of modern biodiversity.

"Fossils At A Glance" is written for students taking an introductory level course in paleontology. Short chapters introduce the main topics in the modern study of fossils. The most important fossil groups are discussed, from microfossils through invertebrates to vertebrates and plants, followed by a brief narrative of life on Earth.

Diagrams are central to the book and allow the reader to see most of the important data "at a glance." Each topic covers two pages and provides a self-contained suite of information or a starting point for future study.

This second edition has been thoroughly revised and brought up to date. It includes new line diagrams as well as photographs of selected fossils
