Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
The only text to focus on study and communication skills specifically for bioscience students, helping them get the most out of their degree, and develop the skills and experience that will make them more employable after graduation.
Written in an encouraging manner using biological examples, this book assists students as they transition to university studies and progress to employment. Readers are guided towards a greater understanding of what they need to do to make the most of resources available, how to approach assessment in a way that recognizes what they need to achieve, and how to reflect on their progress to maximize employability.
Key features:
Written by two award winning bioscience teachers and a career development specialist with a background in bioscience to offer expert guidance throughout.
A particular emphasis on foundational skills that really make a difference to students: 'managing your time well', 'thinking critically', and 'developing yourself'.
Biological examples throughout demonstrate the relevance of the skills being discussed to students' programme of study.
The authors explain how to communicate ideas effectively across all required assessment formats, and how to prepare for and complete exams whilst maintaining wellbeing to help students succeed in their assessments.
The flexible structure enables students to read the chapters in any order, tailoring their reading to the skills most relevant to them.
New to this edition:
'What I Wish I Knew Earlier' videos capture bioscience students reflecting on their university experience and sharing their key takeaways to help other students thrive.
A fresh structure to the content, with new chapters including Chapter 5 'Getting yourself organized' and Chapter 12 'Key competencies: collaboration and critical thinking', which provide broader coverage and greater support than ever before.
A discussion around the use of Generative AI in university provides students with insights into the benefits and drawbacks of this new technology with a focus on academic integrity and best practices.
A greater focus on student wellbeing encourages students to balance their responsibilities in and outside of university.
