It will be helpful to all students, not just those in Education disciplines' - Dr Mary Kellett, The Open University 'This book does exactly what the title suggests; it is a step-by-step guide to enable undergraduate students to produce good quality written work. It can be read as complete text or used as a reference book to address specific issues such as referencing conventions or punctuation issues and it contains a particularly effective chapter on learning from feedback and using constructive criticism.It is presented in a user-friendly format, with 'handy facts' and 'useful tips' scattered throughout to keep the reader interested. There is a helpful glossary of terms, which is cross-referenced throughout the text, including specific words and also relevant concepts which may need clarification. This book has something to offer almost every student, whether they are making their first attempt at academic writing or are accomplished writers who simply need the occasional point of reference. I will certainly be recommending it to my undergraduates' - ESCalate Read the full review as posted on the ESCalate website, the Education Subject Centre for the Higher Education Academy 'The Good Writing Guide for Education Students is an easy to understand and helpful guide to improving research and writing skills. The language used throughout the book is simple but effective and does not come across as patronising. The presentation of the book is also very effective as it does not seem too heavy; each section is split into short paragraphs with ?top tips? to break up all the writing, therefore it was a very easy read.Overall the book is very useful and straight to the point, going through exactly what lecturers look for in a good piece of work. I would recommend it to anyone struggling with researching information or with writing essays at degree level' - TechBookReport 'There are strong links to the writer's own experiences and this immediately means you relate to him, and also believe him!
