Going to University: the Secrets of Success
Kevin Bucknall, Exposure Publishing, April 2007, ISBN 978-1-84685-660-0
196 pages, paperback, �G9.99 (USA $17.99)

The book to help you (or your students) get to college or university,
settle down quickly, and then do well there - while of course enjoying
yourself. If you love to have fun, remember that studying efficiently
rather than badly creates a lot more time for you to go off and enjoy
yourself!

STUDYING AT UNIVERSITY: HOW TO MAKE A SUCCESS OF YOUR ACADEMIC COURSE

��Great book written by Kevin B. Bucknall�� (Student; later a Software
engineer and Linux/Unix system administrator)

"This book is obviously for someone planning to study or already studying
at university. Some of the chapters deal with preparing for university life
but the majority will be of interest to every one...this book is easy to
read, to the point and easy to dip into."
(Sheffield Hallam University)

 HOW TO SUCCEED AS A STUDENT

 "Written by Kevin Bucknall, really interesting ...take a look." (Dr Clive
Buckley, North East Wales Institute) 

��Kevin Bucknall's How to Succeed as a Student is very helpful for college
life, though not as helpful as its unpublished counterpart ��How to Succeed
as a Student With as Little Vivarin, Aspirin, Vomiting, and Stress-Related
Blindness as Possible.���� (GettingReal.com)

"Excellent book by Kevin Bucknall". (Dr. Donald Simanek, Lock Haven
University of Pennsylvania)

"Written for students. One of my personal favorites!" (Penn State
University) 

"For a good general resource for student entering college, visit 'How to
Succeed as a Student'. Many of the chapters are relevant for college
freshmen-to-be anywhere".  (Institute for Learning Technologies, Columbia
University)
