What do teachers say about this resource? (12046)

I would definitely purchase this. On the whole I thought this was an excellent resource, as one has come to expect of your Classics materials. It enhances learning by providing everything necessary to approach the daunting task of studying a new set text, whether for student or teacher. Its educational value is to lead students on to a greater understanding, particularly through the manifold, well-chosen activities. It matches the specification superbly following the same logical order of lines and covering all question types.

I would definitely use this for teaching. It matches the specification well and as always the text/translation/notes/practice paper format is really useful.Particularly liked the way that the author talked the student through how to actually scan a line, as there are often assumptions made that this is a skill students have already or find easy. I also liked the summary of stylistic features at the start.

C Bird, Tutor & Peer Reviewer

All in all a very solid teaching resource, and it does what it says. I like the fact that the set of questions are split between the specification lines, so that there are options for testing early on. I would use it with my students.

It is a good support for them when revising independently.
