Learning and Grade Improvement Techniques: John Ramsay

November 9th, 2006 by get a first class degree

Whilst trawling the internet for useful subject matter for this site I came across Learning and Grade Improvement Techniques by John Ramsey of Staffordshire University.

This site has been around since 1997, and it shows in terms of a wealth of content and appalling appearance!

Do not be put off by broken image links etc. as this site has a lot of useful articles and guidance notes accumulated by a very experienced guy over a period of ten years.

Unfortunately, most of the content is contained within word documents, which is why this site can be tricky to find, i.e. Google cannot read word documents.

There is one document with some very good information on Improving Written Work on a Degree Course which is well worth reading early on in your course.

There is also information learning styles, learning techniques, Job Interview Techniques, CV writing, a lot of information regarding economics and a whole host of other subjects.

I particularly like this site as John has made his information available to everyone over the Internet, as opposed to only allowing his own students access to it (which is how a lot of Universities seem to operate, password protecting their resources).

Its a shame it looks so 1997 pre dot Con era, but at least its free of advertising. There again John doesnt have to pay for his own hosting
