Success at University: What They Haven't Told You takes tertiary study skills and success at university books to a completely different level. This book is applicable to all university students. While some students will assume they have already developed the requisite skills to succeed at university, these students may be in for a surprise. Some students might read all the chapters in sequence, to help refine their performance, satisfaction, well-being and skills. Others might like to read only a subset of chapters, e.g. the chapters on how to improve motivation or mood. The academic skills addressed include: learning, memory, motivation, performance, and writing. In addition, the following life skills are addressed in this book: relationships, well-being, creativity, decision-making, and career progress.
