This is a clear and accessible text with practical content relevant to any student writing assignments in higher education. It analyses a range of authentic sources to clearly illustrate how to approach, plan and write an academic assignment effectively.
This book serves as an essential resource for students seeking to develop foundational skills in critical reading and writing. I consider it indispensable and highly recommend it to all my students, regardless of their level or area of study.
Will be part of the reading list for the Academic Literacy project, which will strengthen existing academic development in the 3 year midwifery programme.
Very good guide for students and new staff
straightforward introduction to undergraduate writing
This is a very useful book to set some of the important groundlings and basics in place for students as they embark onto MA courses. We have a lot of overseas students who have come from a BA/BSc background with assessment as examination rather than a more self-regulated or critical approach and this book is very useful in getting them to think in a more nuanced way.
I direct students to this text for those who need a revision on how to write critically at Master's level. In my professional opinion and experience, critical reading and writing (especially at Level 7) are essential skills. At times, such skills need to be sharpened by those who are new to health care education.
An easy to read book that will be useful as students develop their critical writing and will be helpful throughout their undergraduate studies
