Excellent text, demonstrates the basic skills needed for social work. Easy for students to adopt and implement skills throughout their practice.

Gives an excellent guide to students studying Social Work, supports them to develop study skills for their degree programme.

This book will give students insight into the field of social work and enhance there study skills. It clearly breaks down complex issues so the student will have a more sound understanding.

A basic book useful to some who need additional help in studying especially those who have returned to study after a long break

Although the book title states that it is for social workers, it is equally relevant to the community workers and social care practitioners that I work with, which isn't always the case. The coverage of subjects is wide-ranging and thought provoking.

Excellent book. The format of activities and reflection points translates very well into seminar content. Extremely student friendly

Brilliant for tutors and learners alike. All the information needed is included and helps the learner improve.

An excellent text for students embarking on the Social work pathway. Not just for Undergraduate level. Some of the content is relevant to those at Access level. I will be recommending this to both Access and undergraduate students.

Excellent book that lays out practical skills for students wading through their Social Work courses, assisting in how to prioritise their workload while building confidence that the task is achievable.

Highlights the range of tasks to be completed in an effective and easy to understand manner.

I have handed this book around to students in practice tutorials, and suggested they may want to take a look at it. It has been especially useful with my first year BSc tutees. I particularly like the study exercises.

This book has been recommended to first year students embarking on their social work study.
I particularly like the way it encourages students to make the link between study skills and social work practice. Study skills become an important and integral part of being a social worker.

I particularly liked the chapter on self management, which I think is neglected in some areas of social work training. Overall the book is a great manual for students and I too have found useful guidance to share with students.

A useful resource across a number of modules on our Social Work degree.

This text encourages students to develop responsibility for their own learning, and gives helpful commentaries to enable students to reflect on their learning styles

An excellent source of material for social work students at all levels

Christine Stogdon's text 'Study Skills for Social Workers' is a very welcomed and valuable contribution to social work education. As a University committed to widening participation, this texts helps students develop the right academic skills to achieve on this very demanding course. A text well worth promoting.

Useful text that covers all the necessary areas, we'll use it for Masters students and probably for undergraduates as well.

I find this a very comprehensive and useful text which goes beyond just focusing on the production of assignments and reports to include valuable links to skills in communication, feedback and reflection, demonstrating how these effectively link the academic tasks to development of key practice skills.

A very detailed book that I think most students would struggle to get good value from
Worth dipping into

This book offers useful chapters on a number of core study skills, such as essay writing, research skills and referencing. However, where it really excels in enabling students to develop their problem solving and reflective practice skills. By providing a number of excercises in the form senarios it offers students the opportunity to engage in developing higher order skills. It also gives feedback on the excercises which allows students to consider their own actions. I will be recommending this book to students and asking the Library to stock it.
