Introduction to Scholarship

“Then along comes a book called Introduction to Scholarship that empowers students to make the link between school and university, between disciplinary knowledge and strategic knowledge (how to make it through university), and between knowing and doing academic work. This excellent resource, which every university student must possess, makes no assumptions; it understands that there is a gap between what high school students know and what is required to successfully navigate the academic journey towards a degree”.
Professor Jonathan Jansen, Rector – University of the Free State
