How to Get a First: The Essential Guide to Academic Success de Thomas Dixon

How to Get a First: The Essential Guide to Academic Success

Autor Thomas Dixon
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 5 aug 2004
In this informative guide, Thomas Dixon argues that you do not have to be a genius to get a first at university. He sets out to de-mystify first-class degrees in the arts, humanities and social sciences, clearly articulating the difference between the excellent and the merely competent in undergraduate work.
This concise, no-nonsense guidebook will give prospective and current students advice on teaching and learning styles that prevail in university and on how to manage their two most important resources - their time and their lecturers. In an accessible and entertaining style, the author looks at subjects such as:
  • making the transition from school to university
  • developing transferable skills
  • making use of lectures and seminars
  • using libraries and the Internet
  • note-taking, essays, seminars and presentations
  • common mistakes to avoid
  • writing with clarity and style
  • revision and examinations.
Illustrated with many examples from a range of academic disciplines, How to Get a First is an all-purpose guide to success in academic life. Visit the companion website www.getafirst.com

Recenzii

'[How to Get a First] is the title of an excellent guide by Thomas Dixon ... it is a compilation of what he wishes he had known before he went to university.' - John Clare, The Daily Telegraph
'Do you want to know how to write an essay, make the most of your lectures, take useful notes, use the library, manage your time?
Indeed, would you like to know "how to get a first"? That is the title of an excellent guide by Thomas Dixon, who has supervised undergraduates at Cambridge and now teaches history at Lancaster. It is a compilation of what he wishes he had known before he went to university.
The point of lectures, he says, is not to give students the answers but to alert them to the important questions. Essays should be well-informed, argumentative, written in plain English and backed up with evidence. Writing a good one, he says, is "the most underrated and underdeveloped, and yet the most important of academic skills.' - John Clare, The Daily Telegraph

'This is not some sort of get rich (top grades) quick scheme but a collection of good advice.' - Physical Sciences Educational Reviews
