"Freeman and Stone describe study skills for psychology students in Britain based around the themes of organization, communication, and reflection- needing to be organized, reflection on what was learned, and being receptive to the communication of ideas. They present an overview of the psychology degree, ways to manage relationships, time, and personal issues; explanations of research and the scientific method; how to be prepared in classroom and other learning situations and assessments; how to use resources; projects and dissertations; and careers.
Freeman and Stone provide clear and helpful guidance for the uninitiated in psychology. Students are given a heads-up on key academic aspects of psychology - the useful tips on academic assessment alone, particularly the section on 3rd year projects, justify this as a valuable student resource.
This book has proved very useful for our first-year undergraduates. It contains all the essential elements to help familiarise them with their Psychology degree, from settling in to dealing with assignments to looking ahead to their Project. It is also written in a user-friendly and helpful manner, well structured and easy to find a relevant short section if needed - which are all valuable criteria when recommending reading for new students.
Highly recommended for Psychology students
