Stepping up to the Second Year at University: Academic, psychological and social dimensions (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780415718516)

Programmes in higher education tend to focus attention on the student's first year (because of concerns about student transition and retention) and on their final year (because of students exiting for their future careers). The middle year(s) of programmes receive less attention which can often lead to a slump in student development. This book provides practical advice that can be implemented by staff throughout higher education institutions. Rather than providing a set of prescriptions to be slavishly implemented, it prompts practitioners to think constructively about curriculum design and delivery, and about maximising student potential within the context of their particular institution.
