What do teachers say about this resource? (7740, 7741)
Really liked the detailed nature… set out well, easy to navigate and included all of the information I'd expect… I would consider it in place of the endorsed textbook… It mirrors the specification closely… logically sets out each topic... presented in a way that makes the information heavy course look a little less daunting… [It] has no 'filler' material that can put students off. It includes all of the elements needed for higher ability students to achieve the top grades, such as biblical quotes and common and divergent views. I like the questions throughout the resource and it is really useful to have the answers in the back for non-specialists to follow, or for students to explore when working alone… It allows for a range of abilities to achieve. [It shows] how to interpret the mark schemes in light of the questions that have been answered, which is good as students struggle to do this themselves.
Well written, clear resource which would save staff planning [time]… Could be used in many different ways to support learning. The exam technique and support is helpful and concise… Clear and easy to use… The quick questions for each area are helpful and good to use to consolidate learning… Explanation of how to answer exam questions is clearly laid out for students to understand, well explained. Key words boxes are really helpful for staff and students. Bible quotes included and clear for students to find when revising.... Helpful to give Bible quotes included like this for staff…, so no need to look them up. I like the pause for thought sections. I'd use for extension work or maybe even an extended starter/plenary… Would enhance learning… Interprets and supports the detail from the specification and the exam format. Has clear sections for exam skills and could be used for peer/self-marking… Really helpful resource. Useful for staff [and] good for student use.
