How to be a 1st class student: Easy ways for science and engineering students to ace assignments and excel in exams (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781790288212)

Successful learning is achieved by following a process - one I have developed over time, from when I was a student and from my experience of being a Senior Lecturer at University. This 'System for Learning' is what this book is about: an easy-to-follow, step-by-step way for you to learn more; learn efficiently and for you to be able to show others (especially assessors and future employers) what you know. These three things are the hallmark of being a successful student. To help you, this book is split into four easy-to-follow parts.PART 1: PREPARING TO STUDY - This part of this book shows you how to effectively and efficiently prepare to study. There are lots of easy things that you can do before you start your work that can make a hugely positive difference. These include things like your physical and mental wellbeing, and the physical space in which you study which all can have a big part to play in your success.PART 2: HOW TO ACE ASSESSMENTS - The second part of this book tells you what you really need to know to ace your assessments - whether you have to write an essay or a report it doesn't matter - what is important is getting all the basics right, enabling you to reach the best of your academic abilities.PART 3: EXCELLING AT EXAMS - Exams play a big part in the lives of most students. So this part of this book reveals educational 'trade secrets' on how exam papers are produced. This in turn helps you to better understand what is needed from you when sitting the exam. How to effectively prepare for exams is then explained, with tips and advice on the best strategy to use to answer exam questions.PART 4: PURPOSEFUL REFLECTION - Rounding-off this book is the fourth part which focuses upon getting the most from self-reflection. Such quick and easy-to-follow tips can help you become an effective learner and can help make your future performance even better.
