Help for Open University studies

Bought to help my studies with the Open University. It has a whole range of different help topics, for example how to really read a question and not just take it at face value. Am only part way through but am hoping this will have the desired effect of helping me achieve better results on my upcoming assignments.

Great

Bought as a gift for my student nurse following the end of placement, she found it useful.

Must have for undergraduates

Just looked at it a few times and very happy..
