Kickstarting Your Academic Career: Skills to Succeed in the Social Sciences 1st Edition

A true 'look behind the curtain' for any traditional or non-traditional student who may be starting their educational journey in the social sciences.This book will walk you through the thinking of your prospective professor(s) as well as share some tried and true best practices for you to succeed -- while mixing in some bits of humor to keep things light and fun.Additionally, the aerodynamics of this book do prove flight worthy -- should the need arise, of course.

Overall a must have for students making the transition from highschool to university. I purchased this for my son and his girlfriend as they started first year. The book is not focused on how to write that university paper, it is focused on how you navigate the demands of the institution from how to behave in a lecture hall and seminar room, how to learn from your textbook and lectures, getting through the first set of midterms and paper deadlines, etc. It's worth the cost for just the flow chart on "what should I call my professor."
