An excellent addition to the booklist for personal/professional development modules across all three years. It has some excellent ideas that can be applied to the different degree courses.
An interesting book to aid students achieving a better understanding of their role in the sports environment
An interesting book to aid students understanding and becoming more active in the sports environment
This book takes readers step-by-step through learning how to read and think critically. It is a useful resource for undergraduate students to enable them to be more critical and evaluative in their research, and would be good revision for post-graduates.
Well researched, written and presented discussion demonstrating theory and practice of critical thinking.
An excellent resource book. Have used with level 5 students who found it useful with report writing. The book is great for helping and supporting students in understanding how to achieve learning outcomes.
This text does an excellent job at introducing critical thinking. The text at times gives in depth explanations, at times it doesn't but it always provides relevant suggested further reading. The text gives some very useful examples that adds real value and aids the readers understanding. This text will be suggested reading across many 3rd and 4th year modules where criticality becomes very important.
A solid resource for the more engaged students as they prepare for their first independent research project.
A really useful textbook to help undergraduate students construct arguments in their writing, and raise their writing abilities to a higher level. The book also provides useful examples that relates to sports students.
This book provides a range of activities to engage students to develop their critical thinking. In addition, the use of health, fitness and sport provides a range of topics to engage the students.
It is easy to follow and ecompasses some very important skills (argument forming etc) which are essential throughout an undergraduate degree programme.
This is a useful text book for the students who plan and carry out a research project for the first time in his or her academic career. Basic research concepts and theories are effectively introduced in a accessible manner.
Very good text for students to work with during their selection of study subject. This book was selected to be part of the oral exam and to use for e.g. argumentation.
Like the accessibility of the text and narrative. It will suit Sports Studies students well in that it clearly describes the construction of arguments and will facilitate and nurture their own critical powers. If followed, students will be guided into improving their understanding of academic reading and writing.
A fantastic text and one we use regularly with undergraduate and postgraduates
This book is SUCH a welcome addition to the sports studies literature. We are forever telling students to take a more critical approach to the literature and this text tells them precisely how to do that! An original and much needed text
