Synopsis

Student workbooks will support your teaching and help your students' skills and developments. The full-colour student workbooks each cover key topics in core subject areas to complement the main AS courses in Critical Thinking. Each topic comprises: 1-2 pages of source material and 4-5 pages of related exercises designed to develop and test student skills, with space provided for written answers.

The exercises take various forms, including exam-style questions (both short-answer and extended-answer), although the workbooks are not intended as mock exams. They are designed for systematic classroom use to support your own scheme of work or as the basis of a revision programme.

Answers to the exercises are provided in an accompanying set of Teachers Notes. Where there is no objectively 'right' answer, the notes identify the key points that should appear in the answer. Student workbooks are available only in class sets of 10. Each set of workbooks includes one FREE copy of the teacher's notes.
