What do teachers say about this resource? (10656)
Excellent.. extremely useful for students following the course. My son has just completed Y12, and is studying Eduqas Religious Studies as one of his A Levels. I feel this resource would be very helpful for him. Speaking as a dad, as well as a teacher of RS, this is perhaps the highest endorsement I could give to this resource. I especially like the way this resource is so closely tied to the content of the specification. The sub-headings throughout the text make it very clear which part of the Spec’ is in focus at any given time. It is comprehensive in its scope, and I feel, leaves no stone unturned in terms of content coverage. Key features like the glossaries and the ‘key thinker profiles,’ as well as the ‘quick quizzes’ with answers, all reinforce effectively key student learning for the course. The author’s writing style throughout is engaging and helpful, and I feel will connect well with A’ Level students. An excellent resource. The author is to be congratulated for the huge of amount of effort he has invested, and the countless hours that have clearly gone into the production of this resource. It is always uplifting when teachers are prepared to share their expertise like this.

Overall, an excellent resource, and a very welcome addition to the limited resources available generally for Eduqas, especially at KS5. The whole tone of the resource is theologically strong and very well written. I do like the authors’ style. I think the resource is very readable for older teenagers, the age group it is aimed at of course. I found it particularly helpful that the “key terminology” sheets are included, and it’s especially effective to fit these on to one page per theme. This makes the key terms manageable for students, without it becoming over-facing. The “What you will learn in this section” parts, preparing students for what is to come in bite-sized chunks are very helpful too.
I think the starter activities are a good idea and will work well in a lesson setting. The “key thinker” profiles are concise and useful. I like the fact that they are consistently applied throughout the resource. There is genuinely nothing that I dislike about this resource.
