Reviews

[Amanda]

I read this for a class. It is a good resource if you forget something. Otherwise, it is not useful if you have experience in writing in psychology.

[Emily]

Presents information in a simplistic way that is easy to read and understand.

This book really helped me understand the format for my literature review. It is also a very engaging read (not what I would expect for such an informational text). I learned a lot from this text!
