Riassunto

Are you:

* thinking about returning to college or university?

* wondering how to reconcile the demands of career and study?

* looking for ways to sharpen up your study skills and make the most of your course of study?

If so, then look no further.

This sympathetic book has been written specifically for professional people returning to study. Returning to study as an adult learner may seem a daunting and intimidating experience but as Stuart Powell shows, this need not be the case. With an emphasis on enabling students to make the most of the courses in which they participate, the book provides practical guidance and strategies to increase confidence, enhance skills and develop critical awareness and creativity. The book draws upon the experiences of students in a wide range of disciplines from social work to engineering to provide essential support for any professional person studying in higher education.
