Get A First Class Degree

Most Universities now operate an Intranet / Extranet for degree students.

I found this an invaluable resource, providing electronic copies of:

• University Module guides
• University Course materials
• Presentations
• University Reading lists (and useful links)
• Past degree exam papers
• Past student projects / dissertations

And also guidelines on

• Academic Report writing
• Academic Referencing
• Presentation skills

It was also possible to search for, reserve and renew books online.

In addition the University had subscriptions to paid information services giving access to information that, as a private individual you would find very expensive.

Spend some time researching the online services available to you at university so you can benefit from them straight away. Never miss a trick!

I found the Intranet particularly useful for looking at the following years degree modules, as course materials and reading lists were posted online I was able to plan ahead.

You may also find the post Get in first for a first at the library useful.
