A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Study and Communication Skills for the Chemical Sciences reviews the skills a chemistry student needs to develop to fulfil their true potential during their studies, and to enhance their employability beyond university. Written in a practical, motivational style, with plenty of examples and advice to help the reader master the skills being explored, the book explains how to get the most out of lectures, tutorials, and group work; how to get the most out of the vast array of information that is available in books, in journals, and on the web; how to communicate your work and ideas effectively to others; and how to revise for and complete exams to give yourself the best chance of success. Written specifically for chemistry students by an author team that includes one of the UK's leading chemical educators, Study and Communication Skills for the Chemical Sciences is the essential guide to getting the most out of your studies - and beyond.

Revue de presse :

If your course includes personal development modules then this could be the recommended text you have been searching for. If your course doesnt have personal development modules then this is the recommended text you will want your students to access. It has chapters which are of use for all stages of the undergraduate programme and aims to prepare the student for life beyond their studies as well. This book should be mandatory reading for students in any scientific discipline. (HEA Physical Sciences Centre Reviews, July 2011)

This book is a practical manual for students entering university and college, to help them to cope with the demands of a new learning environment. This could be a valuable resource for all students and its utility would last the whole of a degree course, making this a good buy. Alex Johnstone, Education in Chemistry, May 2011, Vol 48, No. 3

This is a uniquely positioned text that has the potential to enhance significantly the teaching of chemistry in universities. (Dr Colin R. Pulham, The University of Edinburgh)

As a first time student I now consider this book my bible...This guide has everything you need to know to become a successful student. It's a definite 11 out of 10! (Jade Carey, student, Trinity College Dublin)
