Media Reviews

This is a vital resource for both potential, and experienced students in higher education, whether undergrad or postgrad. With accessible examples and interactive activities that enable the reader to engage with and learn from their own experiences; this book successfully demystifies some of the structures and processes within HE that can often cause anxiety for students, and introduces language and terminology that students will encounter which is both empowering and developmental. It is recommended reading.

-- Catherine McConnell
Praise for the first edition `A really practical and positive text that underpins student learning. Used time and time again by students. This is an excellent text.'
