Student Feedback from London Metropolitan University
Why didn't they tell us this before? ... This is the best bit of learning I've ever done!
At school I was told to go away and get a job in a shop ... Since doing study skills I'm getting 'A's' for my assignments!
I was het-up, frightened ... I just wanted to run away and hide ... Oh I love it now!
When I first got to uni I kept thinking I would be found out ... I know I can do it now.
When I first got here I thought they were all looking at me and thinking 'What's that old woman doing here?' ... It's my university now!
Customer Reviews
Very useful
I'm not a student, but have been using this book at work. Lots of very useful tips and strategies - I really like the note-taking section, which makes you think of a better way to take notes - so that not only do you not forget everything from a meeting or presentation, you seem to come away with much better knowledge of the key points.
Good condition and great value
Just started university and searched amazon for some recommemend books. I found this book which was really good value. When I recieved it I also found that it was a true description as it was in good condition.
