Mature Students by Christopher Stagg Pdf

Starting a new programme of learning can be a daunting undertaking, especially if there has been any length of time since your last period of education. Skills such as revising and note taking may not have been used since full time education in childhood. Decisions will have to be made with the countless subject choices, institutions and course structures. The mature student often also has to consider other complications such as work and family commitments, as well as managing other difficulties like finances and time management. This guide covers all these topics and more as it guides the reader through the very first choices of study, preparing for exams, completing their course and beyond.
