Letters to a New Student

`Best years of our lives? Hardly. Being a student these days is no picnic. It's hard work; it's emotionally draining; it's complicated; it's expensive. This book is written by a guy who wants you to enjoy your student experience, to get the best out of it and - at the very least - to survive your higher education experience with no permanent scars. The book is easy to read and packed with the kind of tips that come from someone who has lived through his share of problems and learned from them. Highly recommended.' - Professor Trisha Greenhalgh, University of Oxford, UK. Letters to a New Student has an answer to most questions and worries about studying: Is my addictive personality getting in the way of my learning? ; How can I clear my head and boost my mood? ; and, most importantly, Should I be using highlighter pens? Dr Wood also knows better than to just focus on the act of studying itself and dedicates a generous number of pages to the student's general wellbeing and how this can impact one's academic performance. Moreover, Letters to a New Student is aimed not only at students themselves but also parents or relatives looking for ways to support their close ones. Informative and insightful, this is also a dynamic and entertaining read that is sure to keep all readers engaged. - Teodora Aldea, The Student Newspaper (University of Edinburgh)
