READING LIST

The list contains some books that will help you in improving specific skills, eg presentation skills, writing skills, and books that will help you in working out how high a priority it is for you personally to work on, say, your writing skills. This working out what is a priority for you is part of developing yourself. At university it is essential that you gradually take more responsibility for your own development.
