Useful study guide for any student on a social work course, providing erelevant advice about studying skills in this field
A good 'go to' book for students across the degree programme. Succinct and straightforward. It offers explanations and examples that provide students with a good starting point for study.
AN excellent book which I have recommended to my tutor group and which we have used together in discussions around preparing for assignments, values and the anxieties that they have about social work.
This is an excellent study skills in social work text
Will be advising all candidates at selection to purchase a copy of this in preparation for the programme
I am pleased to be adding this book to the others I am currently using for the Core Skills course. The text gives students a very good outline and grounding in what to expect from social work training and how they can prepare for the task of learning.
