ABSTRACT

The book is arranged in three parts. “Part I: About Using This Book” introduces the whole of the book. The largest part by far-“Part 2: Learning How to Live More Assertively: Academic Assertiveness for Students”—is written directly for students and is presented in a manner that relies on illustrations and examples that are likely to be in the experiences of students (though I acknowledge that there are very many different identities of students these days). The third part of the book-“Part 3: Leading Courses in Academic Assertiveness” is written directly for those who might lead courses in academic assertiveness. This might be lecturers, or staff in student support organizations, or other outside trainers-or it might be students themselves who take a lead or who decide to run a self-help course.
