We are delighted to announce that this book can now be purchased online and is available to loan from the Library.

- effective reading
- presentations

- listening and note-taking
- group working
- critical thinking and analysis.
You will also have access to an online annotated Samples Library of real-world student assignments, covering a wide range of subjects and written genres. With annotations highlighting structural and language conventions, you will be able to better understand what it is your tutor is looking for.
The Academic Skills Handbook drills down into the five core skills of effective communication: being accurate, being clear, being concise, being informed, and using an appropriate style.
