About this title

Synopsis

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.

About the Author

After twenty years in architectural practice in Scotland, England and Switzerland designing a wide range of buildings, industrial, commercial, residential, and renovating and restoring historic buildings, I returned to academic activities when I embarked on a Ph.D. at Oxford Brookes University. 
 

My university teaching and examining experience has been at all levels, with the preponderance at postgraduate level. I have supervised to successful completion twenty Ph.D. students and two MPhils, 1 KTP, and examined 13 Ph.D. candidates. I have published several popular textbooks and guides on construction aspects and on how to do research for students and practitioners and how to write Ph.D. theses, Masters and Undergraduate dissertations. 
 

As Senior Researcher, Oxford Institute of Sustainable Development – Architectural Engineering Group, my research was based mainly on the technology of building construction - innovative, existing and historic, on vernacular architecture, and issues regarding accessibility in buildings and surroundings. My published papers and reports are read internationally and have been presented at international conferences.
