This book brings together a wide range of easy-to-use study hacks. In a matter of seconds, students can access topics as wide-ranging as how to build an argument, how to write reflectively, and how to use theories in an assignment.

The hacks have been stripped of excess wordiness (many take up no more than 2-3 pages) which enables students to find what they need and apply the material with each. These highly practical resources will help students to get started with their assignments and will equip readers with the confidence and assurance to articulate their ideas in a clear and coherent way. They will also boost students’ creativity because they are designed to be adapted and tweaked to suit different needs.

The resources in this book were developed over a decade of the author’s work with mature students, international students, neurodivergent students, first-generation university students and time-pressed students.

All the materials have been tried and tested in universities across the UK and beyond.
