How to Succeed at University (and Get a Great Job!)

Mastering the Critical Skills You Need for School, Work, and Life

By: Thomas R. Klassen,John A. Dwyer

Going to university is an exciting time of life that involves many things: learning, meeting new people, making decisions, building relationships, and gaining greater independence. But getting a university education can also be a source of undue stress. What courses should I take? What program should I get in to? Will I get a job after graduation? It’s easy to become discouraged, especially when you don’t see what relationship studying Plato, Shakespeare, or Sartre has to the real world. How to Succeed at University (and Get a Great Job!) shows that the best preparation for success at life and on the job is succeeding at university. Giving oral presentations, working in teams, meeting deadlines, overcoming challenges, locating information, explaining events, writing well, and dealing with people in authority are essential in any professional job. These same skills are also vital for becoming a strong student. This book gives you advice and strategies, along with real-life examples, on how to improve the skills that guarantee success at school, work, and in life. More than that, by mastering these easy-to-learn skills, you will also have the time to enjoy all the other benefits that a university education provides. This practical guide is meant for university, college, and high school students, as well as instructors, guidance counsellors, and parents. In answering many of the questions that students and recent graduates have about succeeding in their courses and in their post-school careers, this book shows that the path from university to the real world can be straightforward and exciting if you know what you are doing.

Casino State

Legalized Gambling in Canada

By: James Cosgrave,Thomas Klassen

While there has been an unprecedented explosion of legalized gambling in Canada - particularly in the form of casinos and electronic games - the public has become increasingly aware of addictions to gambling. Casino State is a timely collection that examines the controversial role of the state as a promoter of gambling activities often against the best interest of its citizens. Investigating the tensions that arise from the relationships between gambling and morality, risk, social policy, crime, and youth problem gambling, these essays draw upon a range of disciplines to consider the economic benefits and social costs of legalized gambling. A contemporary study that raises important questions about state conduct, precarious policy issues, public health, and addictions, Casino State provides a necessary and comprehensive overview of the central issues related to the legalization and expansion of gambling in Canada.

Geology of the Winokapau Lake Area, Grenville Province, Central Labrador

By: A. Thomas

Prior to 1980 relatively little work had been done on the large expanse of gneissic and granitoid rocks belonging to the Grenville Structural Province in southern Labrador. Systematic mapping of the area began in 1978. In 1982, mapping was extended southwestward into the Grenville Province. The results of the 1982 work are summarized in this report which contains a synthesis of structure and metamorphism, findings of an associated comprehensive geochronological program, the results of a bedrock geochemistry study, and a regional geological map and unit descriptions.
