The first edition of this book was packed full of valuable hints and tips specifically aimed at helping students succeed in undergraduate study at university. It not only covered getting the most out of the various taught sessions, but also a wealth of information on writing and presenting science. I’ve often recommended this book to students who were struggling with general, non-subject-specific study skills in the past, or those who have needed to brush up on their writing style.
