OverviewThis book aims to help students struggling with the transition from school or work to university. It explains how to enjoy university study, and how to transform even the difficult times into positive learning experiences. Most importantly it shows how enjoying the learning process leads to better results. \n With a Foreword by Professor Craig McInnis (University of Melbourne) and Professor Adrian Lee (University of New South Wales). In their words: \n The key feature of The First Year Experience is not that is based on the experience of the authors alone, who have a long and successful record of teaching first year students well, but that it incorporates the view of real, living students at a large and sometimes bewildering university. We hear of their hopes, their disappointments, their moments of enlightenment and above all some of the approaches they have successfully negotiated to succeed in, overcome and enjoy their university experience. \n Full Product DetailsAuthor: Ann Game , Andrew MetcalfePublisher: Federation Press Imprint: Federation Press Edition: illustrated edition Weight: 0.160kg ISBN: 9781862874701ISBN 10: 1862874700 Pages: 128 Publication Date: 26 August 2003 Audience: Children/juvenile , General/trade , Children / Juvenile , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In stock We have confirmation that this item is in stock with the supplier.
