The Little Book of Studying Horrors

This little book of studying horrors is not a crib sheet for various subjects. It is not a study guide for any subject on any syllabus, anywhere. It is not a book about how to format a written end product or how to use in-text references. This little book is about crashing through some of the common challenges faced when starting on the journey of tertiary education. It is, however, generic, and only from the author's perspective. This little book is aimed at the average person who is on the starter blocks of tertiary education before registering with an institution of higher learning, and for the time after that. It is also aimed at bridging the gap between certain undergraduate studies and postgraduate studies (they are like two different worlds but the bridge-to-postgrad is surmountable and simple, if not easy). This little book of (seeming) studying horrors mostly wants to be the jumper cable for your tertiary academic life to get you going and to keep you going on your journey. The 'Annihilator' aims to turn some of your sleepless nights and minor nightmares into the fulfilment of your major dreams. Armed with a PhD and a love of anecdotes and parables, the author shares some insights to make the journey to - and through - tertiary education easier and more fulfilling.
