A FEW KIND STUDENTS USED TO SEND THE AUTHOR NOTES WHEN HE WAS TEACHING FULL TIME - HERE ARE A FEW OF THEM

“To Kevin Bucknall. I just thought I’d drop you a line to say that last year (June-ish) I purchased a copy of your book “An academic’s advice to a tertiary student” and although it came half way through my degree, I felt it was a great benefit in my studies for the second semester. It was a basic, frank book of hints and suggestions which although now obvious have had an important influence on my study skills (not to mention my budget). Thank you for your insight! Regards.” HF, Third Year Student.

 

“Dr. Bucknall. Thanks for the truly wonderful letter of recommendation. I am very glad that I have been able to study under you, as your knowledge is seemingly non-exhaustive! I enjoy and also hope to emulate your vitality, passion and wisdom, in the nearing future. (I believe that you are one of the only ‘practical’ lecturers that I’ve ever had.) Sincerely.” JN

 

“Thank you. This is a long time coming… This is just a token of my appreciation of all the help you gave me with my OFC project.” – J

 

“I am a postgraduate student. I was so impressed with “How to Succeed as a Student” that I printed out several chapters. Thank you Kevin Bucknall you are helping many undergraduate students with your sound advice I am sure. Regards.” KC

 

“To the Dean. Last semester I completed the subject AA12501 offered by the Faculty of Modern Asian Studies... In the two and a half years during which I have been enrolled in the Bachelor or International Business Relations at Griffith University, I have never gained as much practical or theoretical knowledge from a single subject as AA 12501.

I found the teaching team of Dr Ivory and Dr Kevin Bucknall to be exemplary. Each gave up extended periods of their personal time to students and expressed sincere interest in their students development and progress.

… I would like to commend the teaching of Dr Ivory and Dr Bucknall. After my graduation from Griffith University I shall remember their ‘words of wisdom and guidance’. I believe that my future successes shall be partly owed to them both and therefore am extremely grateful. Sincerely” JAN
