Students not only need subject-specific knowledge, but they must also know how to communicate well. From that first assignment or seminar paper, to the final report, dissertation or exam, this guide provides detailed help and support with lots of examples and practical advice throughout. Continuing to provide invaluable guidance, even after the course has finished, the book also includes chapters on how to prepare a CV, applying for a job, and how to succeed at interview.
