More About This Textbook

Overview

For many students it is the more practical aspects of their degree that cause problems and prevent them from communicating their knowledge and gaining a good degree. This new edition of the popular guide to studying psychology, now updated and extended, remains an invaluable tool for students at both undergraduate and pre-degree level, along with those deciding whether to take psychology as an academic subject.

Providing insights into the most critical aspects of studying psychology, A Student's Guide to Studying Psychology is distinguished from other texts by its easy to follow format and practical nature. Topics covered include: Perspectives within psychology, Making the most of seminars, tutorials and lectures, How to write essays and empirical reports, Guidelines on exam preparation and technique, Information on careers in psychology and tips for applying for jobs, including how to write your own curriculum vitae.

This new edition incorporates up-to-the-minute advice on web-based research and referencing. The subject coverage is broadened to include contemporary research trends in cognitive neuroscience, evolutionary psychology and positive psychology. It also investigates postgraduate specialisms such as neuropsychology, psychotherapy and sport psychology. It is an excellent guide for anyone studying or seeking to study psychology.
