Review

I feel that this will help to engage students in what most of our students find a relatively dull topic area of Psychology. Importantly, you have achieved what I feel is a good balance between making something look interesting without losing the essential content needed for success in exams. Jeff Hardman, Head of Psychology at Holy Cross College, Greater Manchester The activities are fun and relevant. I like the mini study - it's simple to carry out in one session and to get a conclusion. Sue Porter, Psychology Lecturer at Aberdeen College of Further Education There has been a death of resources for Research Methodology and this is a welcome addition. The MCQ's and the exemplar questions and answers at the end are particularly welcome for both student and teacher. Christopher Taylor, Head of Psychology, City of London School for Girls It is clear, concise and comprehensive - and leads the way in A Level Psychology. Rosie Ball, Head of Department at Ashford School, Ashford I love The Research Methods Companion because I love Research Methods and feel it will help my students to love it too. Mike Butler, Psychology teacher at King George V Sixth Form College, Southport It provides relevant, succinct practical examples making Research Methods fun and accessible to the disenchanted. P. Brophy, Psychology and English teacher at The Piggott School, Wargrave I love The Research Methods Companion because it helps students spot the important research terms. Rosemary Anderton, Pocklington School, Pocklington It brings research methods to life so students can access the different types of research - application to life. Amanda Ballard, Head of Psychology at Bennett Memorial School, Tunbridge Wells It is the bomb! Gemma Bentley, teacher at Holy Cross College, Bury I love The Research Methods Companion because it's well-written, and full of brilliant ideas and activities. Deb Gajic, Head of Psychology at The Polesworth School, Tamworth A brilliant book - in terms of its layout and the ease of understanding the content. Neil Cruickshank, Head of Psychology at Budmouth College, Weymouth
