Hi Clarabelle - I have Stella's study skills book, first used it 17 years ago!!!! I have it to hand so will check out the chapter - could you tell me which chapter it is please?
Dear all, thank you so much for your advice and comments, they have really encouraged me.
I spent all weekend reading (with breaks) and feel all the better and knowlegdeable for it! I have had feedback from one of my tutors who says my writing style, presentation & lay out is 'excellent' but I need to be more critical (as you said Sneaks) so im meeting her tomorrow to discuss HOW I can be more critical.
If any of you guys have any tips on analysing critically, that would be great.
Have a great day!
Hi all - my first day on here and joined because I just received my results for my first semester and i'm not happy :-(
Would really like a distinction but need some tips. I havent studied for over 15 years and I must admit I did not put a massive effort into my semester 1 assignments, so this semester and next year and want to buck up my ideas. I work full time, study pt evenings 2 nights a week, so my time to study is very limited. Last semester, I'd do a little reading the day before (or day of) my class but other than that nothing, except when it was time to do an assignment. I dont think im naturally academic, but am use to getting grades in the 70s rather than 60s. Do you think my downfall is that I dont read enough...?
Where am I going wrong? Any tips for what is required to get a distinction in pg study?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
