"Success for perhaps the majority of students, whether studying at home or at college, depends on attaining good results in both coursework and exams. But what is the key to achieving such success? This lively and stimulating book offers a new enlightened approach to effective study.
Without minimizing the importance of good organization and hard work, 'Brain Train' stresses throughout that study must and can be fun. However, to experience the real benefits that can be gained from serious study, a positive, self-directed approach is vital. The advice offered in this book, therefore, will help the student find and adopt the study methods most suited to his/her needs. There are useful chapters on essay planning and writing, speedreading, taking notes (creative doodling) and examination techniques. For those students who own or intend buying a microcomputer the sections on selecting and using personal computers for study will be essential reading.
Since this is the first study skills book to have a student co-author, its refreshing approach will be appreciated by undergraduates at all levels. It will be a welcome addition to the reading material currently recommended for study skills courses, communication studies and particularly useful for students enrolling for correspondence courses.
Richard Palmer is a teacher and tutor for the Open University - the world's first university to offer part time degree courses to adults studying in their own home. He has written this book in collaboration with Chris Pope, a student at Oxford University."
