Social Research Methods (SAGE Course Companions series)

SAGE Course Companions are an exciting new series from SAGE, offering students an insider′s guide into how to make the most of their undergraduate courses and extend their understanding of key concepts covered in their course.

Social Research Methods provides student readers with essential help with their research project, with revising for their course exams, preparing and writing course assessment materials, and enhancing and progressing their knowledge and thinking skills in line with course requirements on Research Methods courses.

This Course Companion is designed to augment, rather than replace, existing textbooks for the course, and will provide:

" Helpful summaries of the course curriculum to aid essay and project planning

" Key summaries of the approach taken by the main Methods textbooks

" Guidance on the essential study skills required

" Help with developing critical thinking

" Route-maps to aid the development of wider learning above and beyond the textbook

" Pointers to success in course exams and written assessment exercises

" A tutor′s-eye view of what course examiners are looking for

" An insider′s view of what key course concepts are really all about

SAGE Course Companions are much more than revision guides for undergraduate; they are an essential tool to taking your course learning and understanding to new levels and in new directions that are the key to success in undergraduate courses.
