What do teachers say about this resource? (1281)

This is a really impressive and strong resource. The author has managed to embed all AOs and spec requirements seamlessly ... with plenty of opportunity for challenge. The analysis is accurate, thorough and thought-provoking (plenty of scope for AO1). This resource covers a great deal of information that would provide students with great freedom when it comes to the exam questions – they would be thoroughly prepared. Really impressive activities. They are wide-ranging in terms of getting students to think of the wide range of material that AQA wants them to consider. The comparative element is consistently referenced throughout.

I was consistently impressed by the lucid style sustained throughout, and the clarity of the guide. The chapter summaries were excellent and quotations well-chosen. The 'active learning' questions were very well-judged and do lead to independent thinking and research...
