Study Skills for PTLLS

Second Edition


November 2012 | 168 pages | Learning Matters

The PTLLS qualification has since been replaced with the Award in Education and Training (with a text book of the same name). However, the text in this book will help you to:
*make the most of your taught sessions and self study time by examining effective note taking, group activities, research and resource evaluation;
*succeed in your practical sessions;
*prepare for assignments and use academic writing and referencing.
Please note: The qualifications and standards mentioned in the book have since been updated.

Index

Useful guide for learners who have been out of study for a long time and are returning to learning. It focusses on the specific qualification studied which is better than the generic study skills books. It can also be used for CTLLS.

Fab, fab, fab book - absolutely essential for all PTLLS learners as it will help those learners who have not been to education for a long time. I really enjoyed reading this book and have highlighted sections that will help learners. Another brilliant book.

A good book to accompany the Preparing to Teach book by Ann Gravells. It is essential that students returning to study have support, and this book does help them prepare and organise their work.

Didn't think it would enhance the learners we work with. our own course material is of equal quality.

A very user-friendly text which I can use in my tutorial sessions as well as for students to use independently.

An excellent book for anyone completing the PTTLS Award. It is well written and easy to read. Lots of useful activities and recommended websites for further study. Useful chapters which students can dip in and out of. Well recommended.
