Christine Stogdon's text 'Study Skills for Social Workers' is a very welcomed and valuable contribution to social work education. As a University committed to widening participation, this texts helps students develop the right academic skills to achieve on this very demanding course. A text well worth promoting.
Comprehensive, laid out in an accessible style. Will be useful for students and social workers alike.
A very detailed book that I think most students would struggle to get good value from
Worth dipping into
This is a good, clear text offering useful and invaluable advice for Social Work students
Although the book title states that it is for social workers, it is equally relevant to the community workers and social care practitioners that I work with, which isn't always the case. The coverage of subjects is wide-ranging and thought provoking.
A useful and comprehensive text for first year students.
this book will offer students a comprehensive source of knowledge and awareness of relevant skills that will enhance their experience as students, e.g. learning styles, written communication, time management. i thought the inclusion on online learning was excellent and long overdue. the reflective exercises made this text invaluable.
A clear and concise breakdown of the skills that are required to become an effective practitioner
I particularly liked the chapter on self management, which I think is neglected in some areas of social work training. Overall the book is a great manual for students and I too have found useful guidance to share with students.
A useful resource across a number of modules on our Social Work degree.
